A day of setbacks for the Russian army in Ukraine: media in Ukraine reported tonight (light for Monday) on a significant breakthrough by the Ukrainian army in Kherson district in the south of the country, when armored forces managed to break up the Russian defense line near the right bank of the Dnieper river.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, is grateful for the liberation of two towns from the hands of the Russian occupying forces in the eastern Kherson region.
In a nightly speech, the president addressed the situation in the province, after almost a day of unofficial reports about a significant breach by the Ukrainian army, which were not addressed by the country's security establishment.
According to recent reports, the Ukrainian army managed to liberate the towns of Zolota Belka, Khreschenivka, Lyubivka and Brilevka and the Russian army prepared for its defense in the town of Dudcheny.
According to other reports, the Ukrainian army overtook the forces entrenched in Dudcheny as it advances towards the town of Bresilv, when, according to some reports, Ukrainian forces have already reached the district territory of the town.
No official confirmation has been received for these reports.
In addition, there was a report of a Ukrainian attack that was repelled with heavy losses near the town of David-Bird, west of the breakout area in eastern Kherson.
The Ukrainian army's takeover of the area of the town of Bryslav would give the Ukrainian army the ability to fire artillery fire at the territory of Nova Khakhovka, an important logistics crossing and supply junction on the Dnieper River, which would further reduce Russia's ability to transport troops and supplies to Kherson Oblast.

In the meantime, fighting continues near the town of Liman, which was captured yesterday by the Ukrainian army in the north of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine.
According to reports in Russian media, the Ukrainian army is shelling the town of Karmina and attacking in several directions in order to block traffic and cut off road 66, the most important Russian traffic artery in the north of the Donbass, the cutting of which may lead to another withdrawal of the Russian army from the region.
Meanwhile, in Russia, in the past day, there has been a growing dissatisfaction with the conduct of the regime and the difficult situation on the fighting front in Ukraine.
Commentators and members of the media associated with the Putin regime publicly criticized the fighting situation when the regime's propagandist, Vladimir Solbiev, wrote on his Telegram page that "You can pretend that everything is fine. Even the gold coating from our public relations has peeled off." The growing criticism also echoes among the regime's top officials The owner of the "Wagner" mercenary company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, and the ruler of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, who attacked the army commanders and Defense Minister Shoigu.
