If this succeeds, the defense of the russian army on the left bank of Kherson Oblast will be significantly weakened.
The Operational Command "South" in the summary noted in particular the following: "We carried out preparatory work on identifying control points, places of concentration of enemy weapons and equipment, establishing places for pulling up reserves, including railway from the direction of temporarily occupied Crimea. Fire control is being established over these objects."
In other words, artillery units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are ready to strike on the railway lines that run from the temporarily occupied Crimea to the left-bank part of Kherson Oblast, which is still under the occupation of the russian army.

It is difficult to say how long the Armed Forces of Ukraine campaign for the final destruction of railway lines can last. But the more actively Ukraine’s troops attack enemy communications, the less stable the defense of the russians on the right bank of the Dnipro in Kherson Oblast will be.
The New York Times writes that Putin apparently personally forbade the russian army to withdraw from Kherson and leave the right-bank part of the region in order to preserve troops and equipment for the creation of a defense line on the left bank of the Dnipro. Hence Ukraine’s Armed Forces are already doing everything possible to prevent the realization of such an enemy's intention.
