Russian occupying forces retreat from the right bank of Kherson region in order to stage provocations and accuse Ukrainian Armed Forces of shelling civilian population
Nataliya Humenyuk, head of the joint coordination press center of South Security and Defense Forces, said this live on air of united TV marathon, UNIAN reports.
"Despite the fact that the Russian enemy declares abandonment of settlements in Kherson region and total evacuation, we monitor the situation and realize that these may be certain tricks and military maneuvers in order to create properly constructed defense", she said.
According to her, in Kherson, the Russian military pretends to be civilians, occupying homes of those who left captured territories.
"They want to create a picture that Ukrainian Armed Forces, having entered the settlement, started shooting civilians. This is for public and propaganda channels. But we are ready for these provocations", the spokeswoman said.
