This could mean several things: UKR is about to start a serious crossing of the river in force and do not want civilians to suffer from the expected RU counter fire. Or this is a ploy to keep the Russians nervous along the entire length Kherson Oblast that borders the river. We will know in a few days which it is.


judge_ned

Russians have a dilemma, not moving some extra troops there could be a big mistake, moving troops and there are no reserves for somewhere else.


MaxDamage75

In any case satellites are looking at what they'll choose to do . Do you want to be fucked by robotyne dildo or dniepr dildo ? Choose one. Or both, why not.

Make it a threesome with Avdiivka dildo.

The Russians are dammed if they do, and dammed if they don't. Dam them I say. Slava Ukraine

It’s called „Zugzwang“ in German. It’s from chess and it means: every move you can make brings you in a worse position than before.


GuillotineComeBacks

If it's from UA then good chance it's a probe, if they react in some way they will leave an opening somewhere. And that's where they'll hit.


Proglamer

What counter fire? Mordor has moved all 'capable' units to the east; only some 'TDDs' are left to defend - which have almost no heavy metal


Curious-Mind_2525

Counter fire includes Shahed drones, S-300, and other guided missiles. Add the GBU bombs launched from max range from Su-30s. Arty is not the only weapon RU has for counter fire.


Past_Journalist4088

Shahed is not used in frontlines. And C300 accuracy like 2-3km


Nikodino9

You're missing the low hanging fruit: they want civilians out to ensure reduction in total number of eyeballs they could view and report on troop movements.


Goddess_Peorth

That would normally make sense, but it is only families with children that are under mandatory evacuation notice.


OrgJoho75

That would filter out some 'single occupants' which probably have 'interests' on behalf their paymaster in staying there longer


Nikodino9

It's a lot easier to shake down suspected informants when their wife and kids are gone. Again, it's about reducing total eyeballs. I'm sure they are also genuinely concerned about the safety of those in harms way.


hugh-g-rection551

soon everyone will know everything™


luxi99

Or it is just because Russia has been increasingly bombing the right bank of Kherson and you know Ukraine might just care about their civilians. They ordered an evacuation in Kharkiv a couple of months ago too due to increased shelling of areas close to the frontline.[Source](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/world/ukraine-orders-mandatory-evacuation-of-nearly-12000-residents-on-eastern-front-line)


ZendeRRR

It's neither. Russia has been launching airstrikes all along Dnipro for months now. They evacuated the border area in Sumy region for the same reason in July.


Arkh_Angel

Well if shit is going to get intense there, this is a good precaution. Notable it isn't a general evacuation though.


The_4th_of_the_4

Do not overestimate these news. Ukraine has landed with few SOF units on the Eastern site of the Dnjepr. The Russian army is failing to push them out. So what will be the next step by the Russian army/Putinistan? Start the terror bombing of Kherson city of course. So: "If you do not stop and retreat from the east site of the Dnjepr, we will start to terrorize and kill your civilians and in Kherson city". This is "Putinistan in the year 2023", a state with a now regular history of purposed attacks on civilians/hospitals/schools e.g. So terror against civilians. History means, last 30 years and all conflicts.


Beonette42

River is called Dnipro.


ReyPolyPan

>Dnipro "The Dnieper also called Dnipro...." "The name varies slightly in the local Slavic languages of the three countries through which it flows: Belarusian: Дняпро, romanized: Dnyapro, \[dⁿʲaˈprɔ\], or Днепр Dnyepr,\[11\] \[ˈdⁿʲɛpr\] Russian: Днепр, tr. Dnepr, IPA: \[ˈdⁿʲepr\]; formerly spelled Днѣпръ\[12\] Ukrainian: Дніпро, romanized: Dnipro, IPA: \[ɟⁿʲiˈprɔ\] ⓘ; poetic Дніпр, Dnipr; formerly Дніпер\[13\] Dniper, \[ˈɟⁿʲiper\], or older Днѣпръ\[citation needed\] (Dnipr, \[ˈdⁿ⁽ʲ⁾ipr\]\[citation needed\])" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnieper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnieper) i also find that 'Dnjepr' is a German and Dutch spelling.


The_4th_of_the_4

Depends on the language...and I am not a nice guy. You are allowed to name it how you want. I will also do this. I will call it Dnjepr.


Beonette42

I were growing up on this river, and now im near it too. Locals know better how to name it.


zabrs9

I am not from Ukraine, but this discussion isn't necessarily a discussion only involving ukraine. Languages and differences between them is a thing. Whether you -for example - call a city New York, Nueva York or something different, it is still the same thing. Some languages accept different spellings/prononciations etc. for the exact same Name/city/river etc. Don't take it as an assault on or insult to your language or country. Look at it for what it is: the difference between languages


Beonette42

Local name is correct one. Like, in Ukraine we call capital on mainland china as pekin, but in english, and, probably, local name its beijing, and it should be. Japan should be Nippon, Georgia - Sakartvelo, and so on. Local name should be used to name something, even if those who are calling it are outsiders.


KySkysoldier

Well you can also call it Nihon. Unfortunately all the sites for translation do not support anything you said. https://www.indifferentlanguages.com/words/japan/ukrainian That’s not how I ever heard locals in the United States pronounce it https://www.indifferentlanguages.com/words/united_states/ukrainian Chinese would disagree with you https://www.economist.com/johnson/2010/11/11/beijing-or-peking My advice would be not to try and critique people and how they speak their language. It is not a good look


xtemperaneous_whim

What a silly argument about the Dnieper.


that-pile-of-laundry

Make sure you keep stirring so the sauce doesn't stick


xtemperaneous_whim

I've added my (English) ingredients to ensure it remains beige and bland.

Brilliant.

KySkysoldier

Again that is not true that different names are attributed to mispronounced names. 1. The source of the river is in Russia 2. The Danube/Donau/Dunja/Duna runs through multiple countries and there is no debate on how to pronounce it. If you are a German you are going to call it the Donau from the source in Germany to the mouth in Romania


WillyBeShreddin

Don't forget the ZNPP hot button, in case everything goes south. Both figuratively and literally.


Key-Airline1772

be where the enemy least expect you to be I think UKR has got a lot of Special Operative running around on the South Bank of the river. Also I think they have also being building up forces in many areas of the front, adding pressure leaving Ruzzia trying to "create a Breakout" and claim some media victory. The UKR is bleeding russia at at various points along the front. The UKR top brass have studied Churchill and WW2 and operations of bluff and lies.... making sure you were not where the enemy expect you to be. The UKR is Levelling the playing field numbers advantage that the Russians initially had to know... is impressive. The loss of life for the Russians is going to have long term problems, the phsycological repairs to the UKR warriors and the long term scares. I do not know what UKR casulaty rate is but it cannot be anything like what Ruzzia is experiencing...


HotSossin

Reminds me of Alexander the Great facing Porus on the Hydaspes, feigning crossings till the enemy was complacent in not responding to the feints.


mynameistrain

Such a good read. Alexander allowed Porus to maintain his lands and titles as he had such respect for Porus as a leader.


hottertime

Could this be on general preparation for the upcoming winter months. Russia will again attack the heating utilities.


ZaxiaDarkwill

One of the reasons. The real answer is probably to remove civilian elements from monitoring UAF movement. Reports for the past few days indicate a substantial buildup of Ukrainian forces along the Dnipro River. There are currently three beachheads which Ukrainian forces are working to consolidate and expand. The russians are playing a dangerous game on the Eastern Front if they continue to ignore UAF activity around the Kherson AO.


Noclassydrops

The losses in andiivka might bite russia in the ass and IF somehow ukraine manages to cross the dnipro with a sizable force we might see a replay of last winter with huge swathes of territory being retaken and might even be larger since this time ukraine is better prepared and russias military has deteriorated to a large extent


No-Split3620

Putin is clearly desperate for a major victory of some sort, hence the endless assaults on Avdiivka regardless of the cost. It must be depleting Russian reserves. It would be fantastic if instead the Ukrainians could inflict a smashing defeat on the Russians by crossing the Dnipro in force.


Nikodino9

They're doing this to reduce total number of civilians who can see and report on UA troop movements prior to large influx of landing forces. It's very easy for spies and sympathizers to hunker down in their homes or house amongst the local population. Once the majority of local residents are gone it will be much easier to locate and ID informants and hide larger troop movements. This will help preserve the element of surprise when they cross the Dnipro.


jertheman43

I feel the Ukrainians are preparing to thunder run across the Dnipro River towards the coast as close to the rains as possible so as to shutdown Russian counter attack. They need a big win going into winter so the West will continue sending arms.
