Russian troops ready to flee left bank of Kherson region – regional council deputy Khlan

He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"The Armed Forces of Ukraine are constantly shelling enemy groups. The occupying Russian forces are trying to bring ammunition and hide equipment at the industrial base in Kakhovka. They consider Skadovsk district to be a safe region for them, although it is constantly targeted by Ukrainian forces. Wherever they hide and try to create military reserves in the left-bank part of the Kherson region, they fail. The occupiers have no more fighting spirit. They are already packed and ready to flee from our Armed Forces," emphasized Khlan.

According to the deputy of Kherson regional council, Russian troops started mining the left-bank part of Kherson region.

"The occupying Russian soldiers are burying explosives and barrels with an unknown substance in Nova Kakhovka and Kakhovka. They are repeating the same scenario that happened on the right bank. They completely looted Nova Kakhovka and Kakhovka. Over the last week terrorists have been stealing all equipment and special vehicles from the Kakhovka main canal of the pumping station," added Khlan.

• The Ukrainian military observes Russian troops being on the defensive on the left bank of the Kherson region, mining areas they consider dangerous and preparing for another "gesture of goodwill."

• Russian leader Vladimir Putin allegedly visited the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson and Luhansk regions.
