Liberation of Kherson /
Artillery, tanks, and ordinary life in the combat zone of the Kherson Front - NV report
The liberation of the oblast of Kherson in Ukraine’s south, occupied by the Russians early in the
starting phases of the full-scale war, has been ongoing in the northern parts
of the oblast, to the west of the Dnipro River, since early September. It was
announced a few days before the Kharkiv blitz that saw the majority of the
northern oblast liberated in just days, but there was little movement on the
front for weeks. However, this pace sped up in the first week of October.
Within just a few days, the Ukrainian military managed to collapse the Russian
lines and force them to abandon about a third of the territory they had
previously held on this front. During the last week of September, NV went to
the most “quiet”
part of the Kherson front, along the road between Mykolaiv city and Kherson
city, in the territory around the town of Shevchenkove.
