I think everyone knows our stance on Kherson. They couldn't be that audacious, but something is definitely going on, and it is more than just spoiling attacks and special operation strikes to cause disruption. There was more panic on the Russian side of alleged SOF activity on Russian convoys up to 15 km deep. Is this trying to snarl logistics to Zaporizhzhia, or is it something else? Right now, there is no true bridgehead, as Ukraine has not sent any mechanized vehicles to the left bank. That's the next "sign."
Seems like more large Russian ammo dumps going up in flames near Kherson
There’s the myth of the Russian soldier which the Kremlin would like Russians to believe, where they’re venerated national heroes protecting mother Russia. And then there’s the reality, where they’re poorly equipped and trained cannon fodder, who the military and state treats with contempt.

Not sure if the the video linked in footnote 56 and 57 is the priest or someone else, but everyone should watch it. It shows wounded men in Rostov who have been waiting for hours in the sun to be taken away for medical care in Moscow. Every Russian who thought it was a fun idea to invade their neighbors and smash the country to a pulp should watch it too
