Same article?
What's the difference between Battle of Kherson and Kherson offensive? PurpleBuffalo (talk) 06:16, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- "Battle" is about the events happening in and around the city, for the control of the city. "Offensive" is about Russian operations in the greater province, for advancing through the province and reaching "battle" sites.BasilLeaf (talk) 07:43, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- I personally don't agree with the distinction and think that we can merge such articles into one.BasilLeaf (talk) 07:43, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

If the battle of Kherson is still ongoing, change "24 February-now" for "24 February-Present" and add the Status of ongoing below the date
If the battle has concluded and the Russian MoD claim is confirmed by a reliable source, add the end date of the battle and the status of Russian victory

- The New York Times is a reliable source and has stated that Kherson has fallen. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:01, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- {reply to|Knowledgekid87} The New York Times is correct that Kherson has "fallen," but in the context of modern warfare, especially the kind of warfare that we're seeing in Ukraine, that isn't enough to say that the "battle" is remotely over. The Ukrainians have already recaptured parts of the city and the "battle" in this modern war is not so much a fight over positional control as it is an effort to wipe out the enemy's army. For these reasons, it would be most accurate to say that the battle is ongoing. CessnaMan1989 (talk) 21:50, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
Antonovsky bridge
Does anybody know why the bridge, only crossing point other than railroad bridge and Hydro dam, was not blown up for defense?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.186.97.106 (talk) 12:23, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- No, and it's not our business to infer. Curbon7 (talk) 09:45, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- several sources suggest treason as the cause for the quick fall of Kherson:
