The Chonhar bridges are both rail and road crossings, and head from the northeast of occupied Crimea to Ukraine’s main target in this counteroffensive: occupied Zaporizhzhia region. In the video, Vladimir Saldo, the Russian installed governor of occupied Kherson region, walks around the wreckage, and bemoans “another pointless action” assisted, he says, by the London-supplied Storm Shadow missile. They will have to use another, longer route, he added, to the West through Armyansk and Perekop, closer to Ukrainian positions. On Sunday, a blast hit what seemed to be a Russian ammunition depot in Rykove, near Chonhar. Alexei Zhivoff, a Russian military blogger, said Thursday the Chonhar bridge was more a “land corridor”, and carried 70% of the military and civilian traffic to and from Crimea.

And this is likely why we are seeing a slow – and at times incremental – start to this first phase of open operations. It has also been grueling, with Ukrainian losses reported around Mala Tokmachka, and now intense fighting near Pyatykhatky. Some estimates suggest only a quarter of Ukraine’s fresh units, bolstered by NATO training and supplies, are now in the fight. Ukrainian forces firing an S60 anti-aircraft canon placed on a truck on Juune 19, 2023. Kyiv needs to cement a change in the frontlines to validate the huge investment in its forces made by NATO.

Ukrainian forces blew up an ammunition dump in territory occupied by Russian troops in southern Ukraine, Ukrainian military officials and local authorities said on Sunday, in the latest in a series of recent strikes aimed at making it more difficult for Moscow to fend off Ukraine’s counteroffensive. Serhiy Bratchuk, a spokesman for the Odesa military administration, said on the Telegram messaging app that the attack took place near the village of Rykove, in the Kherson region. He posted video footage taken from a distance that appeared to show a large fire and smoke billowing above fields. “Our armed forces dealt a good blow in the morning, and a very loud one, in the village of Rykove,” Mr. Bratchuk wrote. There was no independent confirmation of the strike, the video has not been verified by The New York Times and there was no immediate comment from Russian authorities.
