At the end of August, the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the start of a counteroffensive in southern Ukraine.

Traitors flee from occupied Kherson. The Ukrainian operation in a few weeks can greatly affect the course of events. Say goodbye to Kherson and the Russians themselves.

The economist and political scientist Oleg Soskin spoke about this in the new issue of the Argument program.

According to him, now the Russian invaders already understand that they will not hold Kherson. After all, there is no way to transfer fresh “mobiles” there.

“It is impossible to deliver shells, new heavy weapons there … In October, the water will be so cold that you will not be able to cross to the other side,” Soskin said.

“If the operation starts now, our troops will already be standing near Kherson in a maximum of two weeks,” the political scientist is sure.

He added that the invaders in the Kherson direction will have problems with provisions and winter uniforms. Plus, they have a shortage of medicines.

“That is, the occupiers actually have no cities with infrastructure. They have Berislav and Kherson, and everything else is shrinking every day,” Soskin said.

In addition, hot-lubricants are running out. Also, the Russians do not know what they will do with the wounded.

According to the political scientist, there will be no “green corridor” for the Russians in the Kherson direction. All they have to do is surrender.
