Russian forces may be setting up a trap for the Ukrainian army in the southern Kherson region while large evacuations of population and some military personnel continue in the Ukrainian zone under Russian control, according to a Ukrainian military official, Anadolu Agency reported.
“They are trying to create a certain impression by using fake information. They are trying to give the impression that they are leaving from here.
“There is an opinion that they are trying to trap and deceive us. That’s why it may mean that they are trying to trap the Ukrainian army in the region,” Natalia Humeniuk, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s southern military command, told Anadolu Agency.
Humeniuk said that they are actively following the movement of Russian forces in the region and, in return, they “calculate their plans and understand their intentions, and carefully check the information received.”
“Firing ranges and defense lines on the left bank of the Dnipro River are already equipped with weapons. They are trying to find a solution there, because they know they cannot hold on to the right,” she further said.
Separately, Humeniuk evaluated the counter-attack of the Ukrainian army in Kherson, saying that “40 to 80% of the settlements we liberated have been destroyed,” making local settlements impossible to live in.
“People want to return to their homelands as soon as possible, but this is not a recommended solution. Stay evacuated if you can, wait for the winter to pass, it will be possible to return when there is no bombardment,” Humeniuk said.
