Russia draws troops to the Kherson region and strengthens its positions. Battles in urban areas continue slowly and are costly to both military and civilians along the way.. Russia captured Mariupol, Severodonetsk and other Ukrainian cities because it didn't care about the prospect of destroying them in the process. Ukraine wants to keep Kherson intact. An effective Ukrainian counter-offensive will be more like a protracted and exhausting siege than a blitzkrieg.
