US general predicts future course of war

The liberation of Kherson opens up new fighting opportunities for Ukrainian defenders, which means they will be able to advance further south. As former US commander of troops in Europe, retired General Ben Hodges wrote on Twitter, the new alignment of forces in the south will weaken Russian defences and affect further deoccupation of Crimea. He also pointed out that Crimea is now "accessible" for fighting

HIMARS will soon be firing from Kherson. The approaches to Crimea are within reach. This will weaken the Russian defence, while the "left wing" counteroffensive will take Mariupol and Melitopol by January. Then the decisive stage of the campaign begins...Crimea's liberation

The expert also noted that providing Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles might affect the course of the war.

We would like to point out that on 11 November, Ukrainian servicemen entered Kherson. Also, the Ukrainian Armed Forces liberated Snihyrevka, the last town in Mykolayiv Region, which was under Russian control.
