Looking forward to the Russians losing the Donbas, Zaporizhzhia and the rest of Kherson oblast over the next 3-4 months.
Meanwhile, some of their threats are cute...

The city of Kherson is now liberated. This is another turning point in the war and a major humiliation (again) for Russia.
Time to step on the gas even more.
But I thought the good citizens of Kherson voted 99% in favour of joining Russia...5 weeks agoFrom Special Kherson Cat on twitter:

One thing they can do, while waiting for the ground to freeze, is to start hitting the road connections to Crimea not that they are in HIMARS range.As a couple others have mentioned, I expect Ukraine will take a slight operational pause over the next month or two (with the exception of clearing the rest of the West side of the Dniper) they will probably only do deep strikes and probing attacks.
Once the ground freezes, Ukraine will pick up the tempo again. Their troops are equipped for winter, Russia's are not. Winter could be a route, but we will see. Ukraine will no doubt be eager to launch significant operations while it's cold.
Kherson is a very nice victory for them though, as well as a symbolic one, given it was the first city to fall in the early days of the invasion.
A good area for Canada to contribute. $15 million doesn’t buy many MANPATS but it does buy a lot of winter clothing.Their troops are equipped for winter, Russia's are not.

Yes, it could also be a tough fight, we shall see. Russia appears to have fundamentally shifted their thinking to more sound war doctrine and will be focused on creating defensive lines and holding their current territories, rather than being in unsustainable offensive positions.Hitting the bridge substantially reduced supply capacity from Crimea. Now they just try to hit the transhipment and assembly points that are within range.
Patience. Once the ground freezes, we'll see the Zaporizhzhia offensive aiming right for Melitopol, breaking the back of the Russian Army in the Ukrainian mainland.
