According to the numbers in exchanges of bodies, Ukrainian war dead dwarf Russia’s. From Simplicius at simplicus76.substack.com:
After a period of strange rumors that Russian forces may attempt to storm the Dnieper, last night Russian forces began a massive artillery and MLRS bombardment of the Kherson region with claimed attempts of isolated groups to cross to the other side.
Details are scarce, and no one quite yet knows if this is all a part of some psyop campaign to throw the AFU off, or a real concerted beginning toward a major operation. Here’s what some of the reports are saying:
For several days now, heavy processing of APU facilities in Kherson has been underway. Strikes occur both at night and during the day. The enemy expects our offensive in this sector and claims that the Russian forces are grouped up to 120 thousand people on the left bank.
Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev believes that the Russian army will create several bridgeheads on the right bank of the Dnieper. At the same time, according to him, an offensive operation will take place in Zaporozhye. According to him, the first wave will also include up to 2,000 troops and 300 boats.
