Looks like Russia might be abandoning Kherson. I say "might" because there is some real question as to whether they are trying to bate the Ukrainians into a trap, but let's presume they are actually making the sound decision to retreat across the Dnipro.
While this will simplify some aspects of keeping Russian troops supplied, it will bring Ukrainian HIMARs within reach of the supply bottleneck where Crimea meets the rest of Ukraine.
Allowing Ukraine to establish a defensive line on the Dnipro could also free up troops for an assault in Donetsk or Zaporizhzhia Oblasts.
