1. Monday, Ukraine made steady progress on the #southernfront south of #VelykaNovosilka. Earlier gains are being consolidated across a wide front as Russian forces continue to fall back under risk of encirclement. Russia destroyed another dam on the Mokri Yaly river to slow the
2. Ukrainian force advance but there is no evidence that the Ukrainian offensive will be stalled.
In areas to the south, Ukraine is conducting strikes on Russian command and operational centers striking the operational command center for the entire region in #Henichesk.
3. Other strikes are reported in #Melitopol, #Tokmak and #Molochne. One of these strikes has reportedly killed the commander of the Russian 35th Army, Major General #Goryachev.
4. In addition, Chief of the Russian Army General Staff, Valery #Gerasimov is reported to be in #Zaporizhia along with many other Russian general officers and a hunt is under way to find and eliminate Gerasimov. I recall the last time he almost bought the sunflower farm.
5. I still think this is the hit on his command vehicle near Izyum. I think a case can be made for Putin wanting Ukraine to kill many if not all of Russia's top generals.
