Russian forces prepare to fight inside Kherson and erase city "for TV picture" - military expert Kopchak

Volodymyr Kopchak, military expert, shared his opinion live on air on Espreso TV channel.

"Surovikin understands what is happening and keeps in his head the option that Kherson front will crumble. I am convinced they are not going to surrender Kherson at the level of a cunning plan, because they clearly understand informational and psychological consequences inside Russia", he said.

According to Kopchak, Russian army prepares for street battles in Kherson.

"Russians prepare certain bridgehead in order to inform, for domestic audience, to transfer crimes that have occurred to Ukrainian side. I think they really prepare to fight inside the city and, if necessary, erase it "for TV picture", military expert concluded.
