The Ukrainian military on Monday started a long-awaited counter-offensive against Russian forces in the country's south, its southern command said on Monday.
Why would anyone announce that they are attacking? It makes no sense. This sounds more like a propaganda piece to boost morale after the defeats at Mariupol and Donbas.
That’s definitely propaganda piece to boost morale and show their weapon dealers from EU and USA they are doing something so send more guns pls, but announcing offensives are actually pretty common through industrialized warfare history. It’s usually announced a day or few after it starts, and without details, because enemies can usually notice they are being attacked even without press announcement.
Even then announcing makes more sense. One often attacks multiple locations at the same time to conceal the real attack vectors with feints. The only way this makes sense is if Kherson is not their target and this announcement is just to confuse the enemy.
