After the retreat in the Cherson region in southern Ukraine, the Russian troops are apparently trying to establish a new front line west of the village of Mylove. According to British military experts, Russia probably expects the fighting to spread to the city of Cherson.
“In the past few days, the Russian occupation authorities have probably ordered preparations to evacuate some civilians from Kherson,” Britain’s Defense Ministry said in its daily situation report. It is therefore likely that they expected fighting within the city to come.
After retreating about 20 kilometers north of the Cherson sector at the beginning of October, the Russians are now trying to consolidate a new line of front west of the town of Mylowe.
This line continued to be heavily contested, particularly at its western end, where the Ukrainian advance meant that the Russians no longer benefited from protecting the Inhulez River. Most of the Russian units are also undermanned, according to the British experts.
The British Ministry of Defense has published daily information on the course of the war since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine at the end of February, citing intelligence information.
In doing so, the British government wants to both counter the Russian portrayal and keep allies in line. Moscow accuses London of a targeted disinformation campaign. (tsp, dpa)
