War in Ukraine: Kherson vulnerable as weather stalls frontline combat

Fighting along the frontlines in Ukraine has slowed because of the country’s weather, but it will likely start up again once temperatures drop and the ground freezes.

The UK defence ministry says that Kherson is still vulnerable to Russian forces because it’s in range of most of Moscow’s artillery systems on the east bank of the Dnipro River.

But according to the Institute for the Study of War, Russian forces are preparing to defend their positions in depth and may conduct delayed operations.
