The Armed Forces of Ukraine are keeping the Russian invaders’ logistics routes in Kherson Oblast under fire control, which increases the advantage of the Ukrainian military.

Quote: "We control the logistics routes and modes of movement with fire control. They try to conceal the delivery of ammunition under the guise of humanitarian cargo. This is a long-established practice that we have been familiar with since their actions in the Donbas.
But they just do not have very large capacities right now and they cannot use the logistics routes that we control. This also creates conditions for our advantage to be greater and greater."
Details: Humeniuk noted that counter-battery tactics - remote combat (long-range attacks and air strikes) - are currently being used in Kherson Oblast, since it is not feasible for one unit to approach another due to the open terrain.
