British intelligence says that it will not be so easy for Russian occupiers to escape from Kherson

This was reported by the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter.

"Surovikin’s announcement highlighting negative news about the ‘special military operation’ is highly unusual. It likely indicates that the Russian authorities are seriously considering a major withdrawal of their forces from the area west of the Dnipro river," the message says.

General Sergei Surovikin, told Russian media that ‘a difficult situation has emerged’ in the Kherson area.

According to British intelligence, the key challenge of any Russian withdrawal operation would be extracting troops and their equipment across the 1000m wide river in good order..

"With all the permanent bridges severely damaged, Russia would highly likely rely heavily on a temporary barge bridge it completed near Kherson in recent days, and military pontoon ferry units, which continue to operate at several locations," the agency said.
