From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kherson Counter-Offensive is an ongoing military engagement in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian forces launched a counter offensive against Russian forces in the Kherson Oblast, Mykolaiv Oblast and on the border of the Kryvyi Rih Raion (north of the Kherson Oblast) in order to reclaim and push the Russian forces out of the Kherson Oblast. The counter-offensive operation is divided into known three phases. The first phase began on 16 March 2022, which aimed to push Russian forces away from the city of Mykolaiv in the west and the Kryvyi Rih Raion in the north. The second phase began on 28 May 2022, which aimed to spread Russian forces thin and prevent them from regrouping effectively. The third phase began on 29 August 2022, which aims to retake all of the occupied territories from the Russian forces.
