The Kherson region was annexed, along with the city of Kherson, which serves as the region&#8217;s center; this is the only regional center that the Russian army has managed to seize since February 24, when Russia&#8217;s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine began. The military resistance was minimal, and the region was quickly occupied for reasons that are still unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuttavia, le autorit\u00e0 di occupazione russe hanno recentemente ordinato l\u2019evacuazione della popolazione civile e il quartier generale \u00e8 stato trasferito da Kherson a Skadovsk. All\u2019inizio di novembre 2022, la Russia ha annunciato la decisione di ritirare le proprie forze dalla parte della regione di Kherson sulla riva destra, sostenendo di voler salvare la vita dei militari e liberare truppe per ulteriori offensive in altre aree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sergei Surovikin, comandante della cosiddetta operazione militare speciale, ha dichiarato che la Russia si ritirava in risposta a una presunta minaccia di inondazioni da parte dell\u2019Ucraina, mediante il rilascio d\u2019acqua dai bacini vicini o il bombardamento dell\u2019enorme diga di Nova Kakhovka, tuttora sotto controllo russo. L\u2019Ucraina, dal canto suo, accusa la Russia di voler far esplodere la diga di Kakhovka e di attribuire poi alle autorit\u00e0 di Kyiv la responsabilit\u00e0 degli eventuali danni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dopo il ritiro delle truppe russe da Kherson l\u201911 novembre, l\u2019esercito ucraino \u00e8 entrato in citt\u00e0 e ha avviato misure di stabilizzazione nelle aree di Kherson e in altri insediamenti della regione liberati dall\u2019occupazione.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"783\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-23.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7247\" style=\"width:705px;height:470px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-23.png 783w, https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-23-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-23-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-23-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Fonte: New York Times<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diversi media sottolineano l\u2019importanza di liberare parte della regione di Kherson e la stessa citt\u00e0 di Kherson, dato il loro ruolo strategico nella <strong>Ukraine&#8217;s campaign to regain territory in the south of the country.<\/strong> For example, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters on Saturday during a trip with US President Joe Biden to Cambodia that the withdrawal of Russian troops had &#8220;broader strategic implications&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L\u2019importanza strategica di Kherson risiede soprattutto nella sua <strong>posizione geografica<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La regione di Kherson si trova nella parte meridionale dell\u2019Ucraina, nel bacino del basso corso del Dnipro, nella pianura del Mar Nero, ed \u00e8 bagnata dal Mar Nero e dal Mar d\u2019Azov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La regione di Kherson confina a est con la regione di Zaporizhzhia, a nord-ovest con quella di Mykolayiv, a nord con quella di Dnipropetrovsk e a sud con la Repubblica autonoma di Crimea lungo il Syvash e l\u2019istmo di Perekop. Kherson possiede il pi\u00f9 antico porto marittimo della costa ucraina del Mar Nero. Qui furono costruite le prime navi da guerra della Flotta russa del Mar Nero. Dall\u2019epoca sovietica Kherson \u00e8 specializzata nella costruzione di navi cargo civili, comprese le petroliere.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"831\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-24.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7248\" style=\"width:761px;height:429px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-24.png 831w, https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-24-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-24-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-24-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La regione di Kherson \u00e8 strategicamente importante per la sua <strong>vicinanza alla Crimea annessa e al Mar Nero, di vitale importanza<\/strong>. Inoltre, l\u2019unico collegamento terrestre con la Crimea passa attraverso la regione di Kherson. \u00c8 la porta d\u2019accesso alla penisola, annessa dalla Russia nel 2014. Durante l\u2019invasione russa, questo varco \u00e8 rimasto perlopi\u00f9 aperto. Non sono stati fatti esplodere ponti per fermare l\u2019avanzata. Di conseguenza, grandi formazioni russe sono avanzate per centinaia di chilometri verso nord dalla Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North Crimean Canal, which begins in Nova Kakhovka, about 80 kilometers east of Kherson, and ends in Kerch, Crimea, was Russia&#8217;s most important target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A causa della scarsit\u00e0 d\u2019acqua, la penisola riceve acqua dolce dal fiume Dnipro attraverso questo canale fin dall\u2019epoca sovietica. Il Canale della Crimea settentrionale <strong>supplied 85% of Crimea&#8217;s freshwater<\/strong> fino al 2014. Quando la Russia occup\u00f2 la Crimea nel marzo 2014, l\u2019Ucraina interruppe l\u2019approvvigionamento idrico dal proprio lato e costru\u00ec diverse dighe. La mancanza di acqua dolce caus\u00f2 danni rilevanti alla penisola occupata, in particolare all\u2019agricoltura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously, restoring water supply to Crimea was one of the Russians&#8217; main goals when they launched their full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The occupiers blew up and damaged several dams on the North Crimean Canal in the early days of the war, and water from the Kakhovka reservoir flowed into the occupied Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"529\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-25.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7249\" style=\"width:468px;height:384px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-25.png 529w, https:\/\/tdcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/image-25-15x12.png 15w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Fonte: Black Sea News<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The occupation and control of the entire Kherson region could be used to move west to the port city of Odesa in the future. It also allowed preparing an offensive in the direction of Mykolaiv, Kryvyi Rih, and Zaporizhzhia for the further occupation of Ukrainian territory. The liberation of Kherson is tactical and strategic in nature, as the invaders are now completely losing control of Ukraine&#8217;s right bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Con armi occidentali a pi\u00f9 lungo raggio, alla fine dell\u2019estate le forze armate ucraine hanno gradualmente avviato una campagna per <strong>isolare le forze russe <\/strong>on the Dnipro&#8217;s right bank. This was accomplished by shelling bridges used by Russia to resupply its forces in the city. The Antnoniv bridge, for example, was used to secure the Russian army grouping in Kherson and the western part of the region. Simultaneously, Ukrainian armored and artillery unit divisions launched a tough offensive on the city from the north, west, and south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ciononostante, la posizione geografica e le condizioni climatiche <strong>hanno rallentato l\u2019offensiva ucraina<\/strong>. In particolare, grazie ai vasti campi aperti della regione, attraversati da canali di irrigazione, il nemico \u00e8 riuscito a occupare ottime posizioni difensive. L\u2019arrivo dell\u2019autunno ha inoltre trasformato gran parte del <strong>terreno in fango<\/strong>. Va aggiunto che in questa regione sono stati trasferiti i combattenti pi\u00f9 esperti e sono state accumulate munizioni e altre forniture, circostanze che hanno ulteriormente complicato l\u2019offensiva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, the transition of control over the city to Ukraine is a significant event that will boost the morale of the troops and the population, as well as motivate Ukraine&#8217;s Western partners to continue to assist Ukraine in liberating its territories. For Russia, this was a breach of state authority and a kind of political defeat because it failed to ensure the security of a part of the newly annexed territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondo l\u2019O\u015brodek Studi\u00f3w Wschodnich, la decisione di ritirare le truppe va valutata come appropriata in questa situazione dal punto di vista militare. I russi non sono riusciti a proteggere adeguatamente gli attraversamenti del Dnipro dal fuoco dell\u2019artiglieria ucraina, soprattutto dei sistemi HIMARS, e quindi a consegnare in tempo i mezzi materiali e tecnici alle unit\u00e0 combattenti. Bench\u00e9 siano riusciti pi\u00f9 volte a respingere gli attacchi, mantenere le truppe in quest\u2019area comportava perdite per l\u2019invasore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lo spostamento della linea del fronte nella regione di Kherson lungo il fiume Dnipro implica che <strong>qualsiasi futura operazione offensiva di una delle due parti comporter\u00e0 l\u2019attraversamento forzato del fiume. <\/strong>However, neither Ukrainian nor Russian troops currently have the capability to carry out a large-scale landing operation. In the case of Ukraine, its implementation is entirely dependent on the willingness of the West, which would have to provide all necessary resources. As a result, it should be assumed that the Dnipro line will become the \u201clong-term temporary\u201d border of Russia&#8217;s occupied territory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Russia will also most likely try to make gains in other areas to compensate for the retreat from Kherson. Units withdrawn from the Kherson front could be redeployed to eastern Ukraine in order to concentrate as many forces as possible to complete the occupation of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. As a result, Ukraine should prepare itself for an escalation in Donbas in the coming weeks. Russia&#8217;s response to the defeat in Kherson could also involve a wave of massive air strikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u00c8 quindi importante ricordare che, sebbene la liberazione di una parte della regione di Kherson e della citt\u00e0 di Kherson costituisca un successo strategico, non equivale affatto a una vittoria completa. Dopotutto, la Russia controlla ancora la costa dal Mar d\u2019Azov a Mariupol, nonch\u00e9 le rotte marittime nel Mar Nero e i territori di sette regioni ucraine.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By the end of September 2022, the Russian Federation had annexed five Ukrainian regions: Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
