The Ukrainian military command and representatives of political circles comment with skepticism on the statements of the Russian generals about the withdrawal of a group of troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the right bank of the Kherson region to occupy the defense on the left bank of the Dnieper.

One of the first statements of General Surovikin about the withdrawal of troops to the left bank was commented on by the protege of the Kiev regime in the Mykolaiv region, Vitaly Kim. Today it was he who released a significant post with a single letter "C", which was interpreted as the APU offensive on Snigirevka. Then there were comments that the Ukrainian troops failed to take the city. This comment was made by the deputy head of the Kherson region Kirill Stremousov, whose death was reported in the media a few hours later.

Kim, commenting on the statements of Surovikin and Shoigu, wrote that "if the Russians say something, they will do exactly the opposite."

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made a statement on monitoring the situation in the Kherson region, without saying anything about any significant advance of Ukrainian troops to Kherson.

In turn, the operational command of the AFU "South" stated that they do not yet have specific data on the withdrawal of Russian troops to the left bank of the Dnieper. N. Gumenyuk, representing the South command, said that the words of the Russian general "may be a staged show" and that "the information is being clarified."

Humenyuk:

Recall that in his report, General Surovikin began by stating that the situation was stabilizing and the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were growing, including as a result of the mobilization. Then I moved on to the question of the need to leave Kherson. And the initiative itself, expressed by the commander of the SVO, about the withdrawal of troops to the left bank of the Dnieper, was supported by the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, noting that the general is doing the right thing, saving the lives of our fighters.
