On August 29, the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (VSU) officially announced the start of a military counter-offensive in the Kherson region. Five people were killed and seven were wounded during Russian shelling in the central part of Kharkiv, Mayor Igor Terekhov announced. The Ukrainian army made a breakthrough to the south through the first line of defense of the Russian army near Kherson. On the morning of August 30, there was a Russian missile attack on Zaporizhzhia. Most units near Kherson are probably undermanned and dependent on unreliable supply channels due to the ferry and pontoon bridges across the Dnieper," the intelligence service said. Intense fighting between Ukrainian forces and the Russian army is taking place in almost all of Kherson region, where Kyiv has launched a counteroffensive, according to a statement from the Ukrainian presidential administration. Ukrainian armed forces have breached Russian defense lines at several locations near the city of Kherson in southern Ukraine, according to Ukrainian sources.

However, according to the VSU, the Ukrainians repelled the enemy attacks in five directions - Kharkiv, Sloviansk, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Yuzhnobuhsk. After Arestovic's announcement from Monday evening, it is clear that it is already difficult to cross the river with ferries.

Des combats intenses sont en cours mardi 30 août entre les forces russes et ukrainiennes dans la région de Kherson, où Kiev a lancé une contre-offensive.

Depuis, la Russie a tenté d’envoyer sur le front des militaires de carrière plutôt que des conscrits, mais le conflit est coûteux en moyens humains et matériels. « Ils l’ont fait en supprimant la limite d’âge pour les nouvelles recrues et aussi en recrutant des prisonniers. [Ukraine](https://www.la-croix.com/Actualite/Europe/Ukraine), ont annoncé le maire et le gouverneur régional. Il y a des dégâts », a assuré le gouverneur régional Oleg Synegoubov sur Telegram, appelant les habitants à se mettre à l’abri. Il a brisé la loi du silence et s’est enfui de Russie : Pavel Filatiev, un militaire qui a combattu deux mois en Ukraine avant de dénoncer l’offensive du Kremlin dans un long récit publié sur Internet, demande l’asile politique en France.

Après des semaines de préparation d'artillerie, les forces armées ukrainiennes ont engagé lundi une contre-offensive au sol sur le front sud.

Si en août 2014, l’armée ukrainienne était tombée naïvement dans le piège d’un «kotel», un chaudron brûlant, le scénario est peut-être en train de se rejouer à l’envers, mais à une plus grande échelle, militaire et historique. Néanmoins, des vidéos selfies, la plaie des armées modernes, semblent indiquer que le moral des troupes côté russe n’est pas au plus haut et quelques défections d’unités se sont déjà produites durant la première journée de la bataille. Plus tôt, lundi, des explosions très fortes ont retenti dans l’agglomération de Kherson, ainsi que dans la ville de Nova Kakhovka, plus au nord, et autour des ponts partiellement détruits et pontons flottants installés à la hâte par les Russes sur le Dniepr. Tous les points de passages sur le Dniepr, y compris les pontons flottants par ferry, sont sous contrôle de tirs Himars. Les troupes russes seront prises au piège, les soldats s’enfuiront. Huit ans jour pour jour après le drame d’Ilovaïsk, le 29 août 2014, une bataille cruciale de la guerre du Donbass, lors de laquelle l’armée russe massacra au canon à bout portant des centaines de soldats ukrainiens, qui traversaient un couloir humanitaire agréé avec le Kremlin.

D’autres en revenaient et se reposaient. De « puissantes explosions » se sont produites toute la journée de lundi et toute la nuit dans la région de Kherson, une ville prise par les Russes dès le début de la guerre, et la « quasi-totalité » de son territoire est en proie à de violents affrontements, a déclaré dans la matinée la présidence ukrainienne.

I'm not sure how much further the Ukrainians would go - but taking out those 20,000 or so troops would mean a really precarious situation for Russia." And that means a real threat of things escalating." City fighting is dangerous and hard work. "So it might be the locals provide some of the resistance - and that will be the Ukrainian's edge." "That would cut Ukraine in half, protect Mykolaiv and Odesa, which are both economically and militarily important, and protect western Ukraine from most of the conflict. "If they do take the whole Kherson region, there would essentially be no Russians west of the Dnipro River," Mr Arnold says. As the first major Russian victory - and Ukrainian defeat of the war - Kherson is of huge political importance for both sides. The city of Kherson sits in southern Ukraine - in the west of the wider Kherson region, on the banks of the Dnipro River. "They're resisting the temptation to do what the Russians tried and failed to do in Kyiv, which is raze the city and then just walk in." "The fortifications will slow them down, and like the Russians found in Severodonetsk and Mariupol, the city itself will slow them down. "The first tends to be the weakest - but essentially they are closing in on the city, which they have been doing for some time." Directly north of the annexed Crimean Peninsula, Kherson was the first major city the Russians claimed after they invaded - and is a key battleground in the wider conflict.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to take back the southern city which fell to Russia early in the war.

"Successfully retaking Kherson will enable the Turkish Navy to boost their existing cooperation with Ukraine," on that grain deal, Sevimlisoy said. "The city of Kherson is the only provincial capital to have fallen into Russian hands. Recapturing the region could give Kyiv's forces a launching pad for an offensive in Crimea, which has already been the scene of explosions not directly claimed by Kyiv. "They are trying to add Mykolaiv. The report said that Ukrainian forces had destroyed ammunition depots and all large bridges across the Dnieper River needed to bring supplies to Russian troops. Now it has become the focus of a reported counteroffensive by Kyiv's forces to take it back.
