Why capturing Kherson would be important for Russia
If it is confirmed, and so far we only have Russia's defence ministry to say it is, then capturing this southern city of almost 300,000 people would be a major victory for the Russian military.
To play SLOTXO games online Slot Games It is one of the most popular games, and there are many websites that offer online slot games, which sometimes allow players to choose which one to bet on. It's not quite right.
It would be the biggest city to fall into Russian hands and strategically it would be a vital base for the military as it seeks to push further inland and west along the coast to the big port city of Odesa. Kherson is itself an important Black Sea port and an industrial centre.
Controlling Kherson means controlling a major water source too. Ukraine dammed the North Crimean canal after Russia seized the Crimean peninsula, so most of the fresh water supply into Crimea was cut off, causing water shortages in the annexed region.
One of the first targets of Russia's military invasion was in unblocking that waterway and restoring water supplies to Crimea.
We know Russian vehicles entered Kherson's city centre overnight. Mayor Igor Kolyikhayev said this morning the city needed a miracle. |
