A shocking new video that has surfaced on social media shows attacks by the Ukrainian military in the Kherson region in the south of their country, filmed from aboard the US-provided Humvees they use to support infantry.

The footage was shared by the administrators of the OSINTtechnical page, which specializes in monitoring the armaments of both sides of the war in Ukraine. In one of these recordings, the Ukrainian military filmed full combat activity, advancing in a column on the front under the fire of Russian artillery.

In the second frame, which is impressive in its length, you can see how the Ukrainian equipment is advancing in an open field with almost no resistance from the Russian defenders, except for sporadic fire from small arms, although it is not entirely clear from the frame whether it is the Russian military or the Ukrainians on board who are shooting. their cars.

Ukrainian troops in the Kherson region managed to advance 40 kilometers in one day on Monday after more than a month of fierce fighting since the counteroffensive began here on August 29.

The latest footage, released by OSINTtechnical, shows fierce fighting between the Ukrainian military and Russian defenders, with the Kyiv military at one point getting out of their vehicles to fire on the invaders from the cover of the forest edge.

The video car leaves them behind and starts thundering towards the Russian positions, positioning itself perpendicularly between its own soldiers and those of the invading army to provide them with cover.

It is unclear when the video was taken, but the fighting most likely took place in the past few days, when Ukrainian forces managed to break through the Russian front on its eastern flank, making significant progress in 48 hours.

It is highly implausible that they were removed before this, considering that just a few days ago the fighting in Kherson was characterized by a battle of attrition, in which the Ukrainians tried to break through the fixed defensive positions built by the Russian army along the entire length of the front.

The Ukrainian army was rapidly advancing towards Kherson

In its latest assessment of the conflict in Ukraine, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes that Ukrainian forces are strengthening their positions in the south of the country and regrouping in the north of the Kherson region after making significant gains on Monday and Tuesday. while Russian troops are trying to recover from the momentum taken by the Ukrainian army.

In fact, President Vladimir Putin’s favorite propagandist complained in one of his broadcasts the other day about the “lust” with which he attacks Ukrainian troops after being emboldened by the catastrophic collapse of the Kharkiv front and the quick capture of Lyman in Donetsk.

Solovyov’s comments came amid a general atmosphere of horror on Russian television and among Kremlin propagandists following recent setbacks by Moscow’s armed forces in Kharkiv, Donetsk and Kherson.

Kherson separatists have repeatedly tried to assure both the pro-Russian population of the occupied region and on Russian television that the situation is under control, despite the obvious advances of the Ukrainian army.

In some cases, their explanations bordered on the ridiculous: the deputy head of the Russian administration in Kherson, Kyrylo Stremousov, told Rossiya-1 live that Moscow troops in the area were actually advancing when they were retreating.
