Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

[GaoGaiGarV]

So let me try to recapitulate.

Ukraine announced a counter offensive in Kherson oblast about 3 months ago and captured a handfull of smaler villages. Not much for Russia to feel threatened and the whole world did belittle the offensive capabilities of Ukraine. Ukraine constantly announced counter offensives in that area but Russia didn't budge. Ukraine got HIMARS and systematically destroyed lines of communication and weapon depots in Kherson but Russia didn't budge. Ukraine attacked Crimea and finally Russia felt threatened and did move large amounts of troops and material to Kherson. An area which is now hard to defend and because of all the destroyed lines of communication over the river it is hard to resupply the front lines meaning they only get drip-feeded. Despite the large amount of russian tropps they can't do much. So Ukraine not only started an actual counter offensive in Kherson where they can eliminate the aggressors one after another and thus needing fewer numbers of mechanized units, they can at the same time exploit the weakened lines of defence in the east and start counter offensives there needing fewer numbers of mechanized units.

Is "brilliant" the correct word or do we have to invent a better one?
