Is the Russian military doomed in Kherson?

The Russian military is clearly not doing well in Ukraine these days and could be on the verge of a major defeat in the area of Kherson.

Russia has withdrawn some officers and medics from around the annexed city of Kherson as fears of a major Ukrainian offensive grow, said The Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

Moscow is in retreat across the Dnipro River in anticipation of an advance of Ukrainian troops on the regional capital, the US-based think tank said on Sunday.

“Russian forces continued to withdraw from western Kherson Oblast while preparing to conduct delaying actions that will likely be only partially effective,” concluded the ISW, in a Russian Offensive Campaign assessment, on Saturday.
