The situation in the direction of Kherson is changing in an unpleasant way for Kyiv. This was announced by an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine—and on the YouTube channel of journalist Mark Feygin.

"Now we [i.e., the Ukrainian army] are moving towards Kherson; (the situation) there is changing in an unpleasant way for us," said Oleksiy Arestovich. "Additionally, about six battalion-tactical teams have been deployed. In total there are already 30 or more than 30 of them there. This is a huge military force which will be very, very difficult to destroy just like that. On the other hand, our artillery makes [us] happy there. There are so many troops there that it is difficult to miss [the mark].''
