“Ukrainian forces continued to make significant gains in Kherson Oblast, while simultaneously continuing advances in Kharkiv and Luhansk oblasts on October 4. Ukrainian forces liberated several settlements on the eastern bank of the Inhulets River along the T2207 highway, forcing Russian forces to retreat to the south toward Kherson City.”
The Ukrainians broke two Russian land lines of communication in the north of the Kherson region, forcing the Russians to retreat to the south of the border of the Kherson-Dnipropetrovsk region.
“Ukrainian military officials noted that the Ukrainian interdiction campaign is crippling Russian attempts to transfer additional ammunition, reserves, mobilized men, and means of defense to frontline positions.”
In addition, Ukrainian forces continued to advance in the eastern part of the Kharkiv region west of Svatovo, advancing beyond the Oskil River and increasingly threatening Russian positions in the Luhansk region.
