[QUOTE="Dalvinder Singh Grewal, post: 223421, member: 22683"] Ukraine had re-taken Kherson, and now Russia says Kherson is back in its control. Why Kherson is important? [IMG]https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-b0ec0a31c997a87da02cfcc018cf7083-lq[/IMG] Kherson The importance of Kherson to Ukraine is that it’s a major port on the Dnipro river. The river runs from Kyiv down to the Black sea, it’s wide and slow, therefore it can act as a major transport artery that needs little infrastructure. Kherson could serve as a dock where barges from the river are unloaded and goods get transferred onto seagoing vessels. Dnipro is also home to a number of hydroelectric dams, which reduce its potential as a traffic artery. Still, this is what made Kyiv viable as a major city in medieval times and it deserves a mention. The second major importance in Kherson is its position on the right (western) bank of the Dnipro river. Russia had no other positions on that bank of the river since the first month of the war. As you can see in the image above, Dnipro is slow but wide, and as such a major barrier to any passing forces. If Russia is to take Ukraine, it must cross the Dnipro. With positions, including most of their capital, on the right bank of Dnipro, Ukraine remains defensible if it can hold the entire length of the river on at least one side. So long as Russian forces held Kherson, any future Russian offensive from that city was an existential threat to Ukraine. Furthermore, with Kherson occupied, the last two remaining seaports of Ukraine were Mykolaiv and Odesa. There are no major natural barriers between Kherson and Mykolaiv, so while Russian forces held Kherson, Mykolaiv was at constant risk as well. This risk has now abated. In other words, the liberation of Kherson means Ukraine will remain a viable and defensible state after this war has ended. Whether they negotiate now or push to liberate more ground doesn’t make a difference in the key question: Ukraine will survive and Russia will not be able to hold a knife to its neck, not without committing far more resources than it already poured into this war. This is the true importance of Kherson in the war. At Kyiv, Russia lost the ability to win the war quickly, at Kherson they lost the ability to win the war and return at a later date for the final blow. Now the most Russia can hope for is to retain control over small and strategically insignificant areas that have been depopulated and impoverished by the war. [/QUOTE]
