Gumenyuk: Russians already realise they will have to retreat from the South

Nataliya Humenyuk, head of the press centre of the Guard and Defence Forces of Operational Command South, said this on the Espresso TV channel. She said

The Russians already understand the failure of their military strategy. The de-occupation of Ukraine's right bank in the south is bringing the enemy back to the understanding that the AFU continues to establish fire control over the enemy's transport arteries. Ukrainian artillery can already reach the lines they are building on the left bank of the Dnieper, near Armyansk

Natalia Gumenyuk also says that the enemy has mined the coastline and is setting up firing positions 15-20 kilometres inland. In her opinion, the Russians are already realizing that they will have to cede the occupied territories.

It is worth recalling that on 9 November, Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoygu announced that Russian troops were withdrawing to the left bank of Kherson Region.
