According to warnews247.gr the Ukrainian offensive on Kherson has already begun:

Note that this is a Greek website and the article is in Greek. I have translation software that translates it into English. Others may not be able to read it unless they understand Greek. I cannot find any other sources that say that this offensive has begun.
I pasted in part of the Engish translation:
Fierce fighting is taking place in Kherson with Russian forces repelling the first Ukrainian offensive in the Berislav region, inflicting casualties on Kyiv. Fighting is taking place in the areas between Pyatikhatki and Sukhanovo as well as in Pravdino, Kherson.
After fierce artillery battles, two Ukrainian infantry battalions of the 128th Mountain Brigade and one battalion of the 17th Brigade began to advance in the Novaya Kamenka – Berislav direction. Ukrainian forces number 1,000 soldiers.
Instead, Russian forces are fielding forces from the 126th Coastal Brigade and airborne forces from the 83rd, 80th and 11th Brigades.
Ukrainian motorized infantry units are actively supported by artillery and a large number of medium-range attack drones. The Russians report that at a great distance, outside the range of their air defense, they are operating a "Bayraktar" UAV.
The situation is extremely critical for the Russian forces despite the first small victory. The Ukrainians are moving all available forces from neighboring regions, their reserves and Territorial Defense units.
Russian forces have found a very large concentration of Ukrainian troops in the Kherson region and in the Nikolaev and Krivoy Rog regions, which means that it is only a matter of time before the region turns into a living hell…
The rest of the article goes back to Greek in spite of doing the entire paste, so this is the only English part that I was able to paste, deleting the Greek.
Let's see what develops.
