The Russian army leaves Kherson: a flight or a cunning trap?

The order to withdraw Russian troops across the Dnieper River may be an attempt to lure the Armed Forces of Ukraine into the city and impose street fighting.

On Wednesday, November 9, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered the withdrawal of Russian army units across the Dnieper River in the Kherson region. However, this retreat may turn out to be both another "goodwill gesture" and a cunning trap for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Kherson and nearby settlements cannot be fully provided and function under the current conditions," Surovikin said.

Shoigu seemed to have agreed to the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson, citing the fact that "the life and health of Russian servicemen are always a priority."
