The scale of achievements of the Ukrainian forces in the attack on Kherson cannot yet be assessed, but the main obstacle for the Armed Forces of Ukraine may be the cohesion of the Russian command, which has undergone certain changes after the unsuccessful operation in southern Ukraine, British intelligence analysts say..

Ukrainian long-range precision strikes continue to hamper Russian resupply. It is not yet possible to confirm the scale of Ukrainian achievements. However, since the beginning of August, Russia has made significant efforts to strengthen its forces on the western bank of the Dnieper around Kherson..

So, the 49th Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District (Air Defense) was most likely reinforced with components of the 35th Combined Arms Army of the Eastern Military District (NVO).

However, in spite of all, most units around Kherson are probably understaffed and rely on fragile supply lines via ferry and pontoon bridges across the Dnieper..

This integration of air defense and air defense units indicates a significant reorganization of Russian forces in Ukraine. There is a realistic possibility that Russia has moved towards the rationalization of several semi-independent operational commands, due to which it was defeated at the beginning of the invasion..

It is the cohesion of this untested structure that, in all likelihood, will become a key factor in the stability of Russian defense in the south during the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces..
