UA = Ukrainian forces. RU = Russian forces.
Here as seen at threadreaderapp.com a collection of tweets, the comments of American General Mark Hertling the current Ukrainian counter-offensive objective Kherson.
"While it's not on the news, I'm [Mark] watching the current fight in Kherson (and the renewed fight in the Donbas)."
"The 'Kherson pocket' (a smaller version of the WWII 'Falaise Pocket' I mentioned a few weeks ago) is not a large 'counteroffensive' but it is interesting. 1/16🧵 "
"What follows are maps, descriptions of terrain, locations of tactical battles, and their relative potential significance."
"Without battlefield intel, I don't know details of what General Zaluzhnyi or Col-Gen Shaptala [Ukrainian senior commanders] see, but these are my thoughts.2/"
[....]
Observations of General Mark to include:
* "-the slow pace of what we should expect in coming weeks"
* "-the offensive spirit & skill of the UA"
* "-the quandary RU finds itself in 16/16"
DEVOTED readers to the blog are strongly encouraged to read the entire thread of tweets, all courtesy General Mark.
When General Mark speaks you are hearing the real thing.

Bert says: There are two definite schools of thought from American experts regarding the Ukraine Conflict. 1. The Mark Hertling school which says the Ukrainian is fighting a game fight and battle and is enjoying success in a way not anticipated. 2. The Macgregor and Ritter school of thought that the Russian dominates and has badly beaten the Ukrainian.
I guess the truth is somewhere in between.
