🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg writes: (1/10) "THE FINAL OFFENSIVE HAS FINALLY BEGUN IN KHERSON. Yes, all indications now point to it and the weather conditions have been favourable for building up of mud everywhere. I will try to explain below why this suits our tactics.⤵️
2:"In addition, we have engaged both the Azov and the Foreign Legion for a joint attack. Where have we launched this attack, then? At #Snihurivka. We are attacking the city from three directions: from the northeast, north and west.⤵️
3:"The attack from the west has the task of attacking the Russian flank and together with the troops from the north divide them into two parts. It looks like we have a foothold in the northern part of the city as the enemy retreats towards the centre and try to arrange⤵️
4:"...a new line of defence around the so-called ring road. Moreover, it seems that they were not expecting an attack here. Information has leaked from the Russian side saying that they do not have enough weapons and ammunition.⤵️
5:"I expect that we will also launch an attack along the M-14 from Posad-Pokrovske towards Chornobaika and from there to Zelenivka. If we manage to take Snihurivka, we'll have a straight track down to Kherson. ⤵️
6:"What then are the Russians' options? There are only two, namely 1) blow up their equipment and run or 2) surrender. When we take control of the Snihurvika-Kherson road, the Russians west of the road are stuck in the mud. ⤵️
7:" Since they have abandoned Chornobaika airfield, the odds of us getting in there are good. This in turn means that the Russian troops north of M-14 are also stuck in the mud. Right now, Kherson's fate is being decided before winter arrives.⤵️
8:"The Russians have evacuated Kherson and the regular army has dressed their soldiers in civilian clothes and placed them in empty apartments. Moreover, the city is said to be crawling with Russian media. The intention is obvious:⤵️
9:"When there are street fights against these soldiers in civilian clothes, they will be shot at by our soldiers. So, the Russians will have the propaganda left: 1) the civilians are fighting voluntarily for the Russians and, 2) the UA is shooting their own civilians. ⤵️
10:"We have an interesting couple of weeks ahead of us.
The fighting around Marinka continues and the Russians advance a few meters but at great material and human cost. Otherwise, no significant changes on the other fronts."/🚫

🇺🇦🧵🗣️A few words from Kenneth Gregg: (1/7) "The Donbass is currently the front with the most fighting. Once again, the Russians are trying their best to take Bakhmut and Pavlivka. They feed newly mobilised troops in on an assembly line. They fall just as quickly.⤵️
2:"The few metres they advance cost them dearly. If they continue at this rate, they will last another week, whereafter thousands of new cannon fodder men will be needed. Our main lines of defence are holding firm although under heavy attack. ⤵️
3:"We have casualties too, but nowhere near what the Russians have.
Fighting also rages around the Svato region, but not quite so intense. Yesterday a group of 21 newly mobilized Russians surrendered and joined our brigade 92. They are all from Moscow and the surrounding area.⤵️
🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg here with a lengthy report: (1/22) "I want to start with a news item that has gone completely under the radar in terms of consistency. I have not been a fan of German Chancellor Scholtz but now he must receive some credit.⤵️
2:"He negotiated with China and China came out very strongly with a statement: use of Russian nuclear weapons is a 'NO GO'. This certainly means that the nuclear threat from Russia is averted. If Russia loses all support from China, Putin and his footmen are gone.⤵️
3:"So to something very serious, the headline reads:
CORRUPTION IN UKRAINE'S PRIVATE ENERGY SECTOR COULD LEAD TO MASS EVACUATION OF KYIV
In Ukraine, the government cannot intervene in the electricity market without first declaring a total state takeover of the energy sector.⤵️
🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg talks: (1/10) "The front lines have not officially changed, but there is heavy fighting both in Kherson Oblast and on the Kharkiv/Luhansk front. We have hammered the Russian positions with artillery as well as with heavy and light mortars.⤵️
2:"The Russian phone calls we are intercepting show that the Orcs are getting exhausted and hungry. The coming week will include attacks on the Russian main lines at both Kherson and Kharkiv.⤵️
3:"No one can have failed to hear about our drone attacks on Sveastopol. What surprises me is that the Russians do not have a proper defence system around the port, e.g. net barriers. The boat drones we sent in were fired on with machine guns from helicopters.⤵️
🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg here again: (1/9) "A lot has happened during the night and the last hours. Let's start in Kharkiv/Luhansk Oblast. Although not yet officially confirmed by the General Staff, we have basically taken control of road P07 and also of large parts of P66.⤵️
2:"P07 turns into P66 at the Svatove junction. Our strategy is to take over the communities above and below Svatove, down to Kreminna. This is because there is a ridge running through them, which means the Russians have to retreat quite a bit to create new defensive lines.⤵️
3:"We only have November left before the weather causes problems.
The Donbass area is the same as before: we hold our ground and the Russians sacrifice their lives for nothing. The Orcs show their real face here.⤵️
🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg talks again: (1/14) "At the moment we have no real offensive anywhere but mostly an artillery barrage over the Orcs. Here, too, we have the better hand, and I will now try to highlight the strategic points on each front.⤵️
2:"If we start with the #Luhansk , the Russians have brought in a large amount of manpower reinforcements. They may not be trained, but it is not difficult to sit in a pit and shoot at anything that moves towards you.⤵️
3:"The Orcs have distributed these new arrivals evenly on the Kremlin front. We will expose ourselves to these amateurs in their pits if we attack. Therefore, the tactic of the General Staff is now to shoot away as many as possible with artillery and light and heavy mortars.⤵️
🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg talks again: (1/10) "Yesterday's report became a night report. Yesterday started for me at 05:00 and I couldn't have my phone with me due to localization risk. The day also contained a surprise when I was commanded to attend the delivery of 60 stoves to⤵️
2:"...the 59th Motorized Brigade Yakov Handziuk. But about the front update first:
The Russians are on the defensive everywhere except near #Bakhmut, where they are focusing on reaching the city by any means necessary and with heavy casualties.⤵️
3:"We are successfully defending key points and are slowly advancing in #Kherson oblast, the most notable being the 60th Infantry Brigade entering Pyatykhatky. The Russians continue to send Iranian 'mopeds' over our cities, including Kyiv. Most of them are shot down,⤵️
