No signs that Russia is leaving area without a fight, says Zelenskiy adviser
Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior adviser to Mr Zelenskiy, told Reuters: “Actions speak louder than words. We see no signs that Russia is leaving Kherson without a fight. A part of the ru-group is preserved in the city, and additional reserves are charged to the region.”
In televised comments, Russia’s Gen Sergei Surovikin, overall commander of the war, said he had recommended the withdrawal of Russian troops from the west bank of the Dnipro River, citing logistical difficulties. The order to retreat came as Ukrainian forces pressed their attack on Russian positions on the western side of the river, including around the key town of Snihurivka.
