When you bring the map and not the analysis and information from the source, and you make your own analysis adjusted to your narrative... That can be called propaganda, Rybar talks about Ukrainian advances, but you misrepresent leaving only the map.... He also says that Russia transfers reserves to the area
The War in the Ukraine

OK, thanks for going from falsely assuring that "Ukraine STOPPED pressing on kherso", to now claiming that they are giving a "push"... The narrative changes... Xd!
Makes a lot of sense based on what we know about Zalzuhny being the competent one.
The Kherson offensive was terribly conceived to begin with. The East has far better territory due to being mostly forest instead of fields.
From here on, the war may become closer, assuming the Ukraine can contain an eventual Russian attack in the South, which is far from certain.
"leaked" conversations like these should always be taken with a huge grain of salt, but I think this is a case where the leaked content coincides well with what would be Ukraine's best moves. Give up on the flatlands, send troops to reinforce the East. When politicians like Zelensky make the calls, you get blunders like Kherson, but by any indication, the AFU leadership is competent and the move to the East is a competent move.
I'll say, the fact that Blinken can just waltz into Kiev is indicative that the Russians are not taking this war seriously. The Kiev airport should have been destroyed if not captured on February 25.

Russia can level the airport with Khinzhals right now if they wanted to. They could have done it with Blinkin in the air and he wouldn't know where to land; he'd have to go home. The big question is why don't they want to? All these small discussions about villages going back and forth are meaningless and focus on individual trees while missing the forest. Why does Russia hold back its power? Why doesn't it deal even easy big-bang-for-the-buck blows to Ukraine by taking out its airports with missile strikes from 2,000km away? What does Russia want/gain in doing this? That's how we can gain a real understanding of what's happening.
It looks like the Reddit battalions aren't celebrating the Ukrainian victories as much as some on here.
As far as I remember, that was around the "victorious" Kherson offensive, which apparently was now a feint with several Ukranian units completely wiped out, feintingly
Maybe they are destroying Ukrainian equipments and forces so when the time come and push to the Dnieper, cutting all the bridges to the west, the south front will be safe because Ukraine will not have anything to throw at them ? Ukrainian forces have still a lot of steam or blood that they can lose.
I don't think you'll get an answer from anyone here, Russia can hold a 50 thousand man exercise but can't spare the manpower and equipment to push back this new offensive.
It's either a matter of priority or capability and I don't think you can get better training than fighting a actual resisting enemy.
RuAF should have shattered any armoured push by the Ukrainians long before they could push this far into captured territory.
Most likely these are conscripts which can't be used unless
Lest we forget, even now this is called a "special military operation" lol
