Russian army not looking good in the Kherson-region....




- The Rosgvardiya (a separate elite-unit of the russian army) used to man the military check-points in Kherson. They have disappeared and the check-points are now manned by regular soldiers, who appear awfully jumpy and nervous.

- Farmers outside of Kherson have reported that russian deserters in civilian clothes have asked for a ride and directions towards Crimea.

- Inside Kherson, russian soldiers have begun looting luxury-articles from the apartments they are searching for ukrainian partisans.



Kherson isn't surrounded by ukrainian forces, but ukrainian artilley has come so close that they can target anything getting in and out of Kherson.
