Russia has gone into defense: the media learned about the new tactics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine

According to journalists, the Russian command changed plans after the invaders from Kherson. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky insists on purification of all captured territories. Russian invaders began defense tactics in Ukraine after escaping in the south, in particular, from Kherson. Western official said this in communication with Reuters. Such a statement was made after President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised to return all the captured territories.

Zelensky visited Kherson on November 14 and said that any peace agreement with Moscow necessarily provides for the withdrawal of all Russian troops from Ukraine. "It is clear that the Russian occupation of Ukraine is now a defense operation," said Reuters on the conditions of anonymity. According to him, the withdrawal of troops from Kherson took place quite orderly.

Moscow's statements about the withdrawal of 30,000 soldiers were exaggerated, the real number approached the figure of 20 thousand, he continued. The source expects a static situation on the battlefield in 2023. "If people expect forces on both sides, we see nothing that would indicate it from that moment until the end of the year. None of the parties are in such a state that its forces are collapse," he described the state of affairs . .

Recall that according to the US intelligence, the Kremlin specifically delayed the retreat from Kherson and the right bank of the Dnieper. Russian authorities did not want to give President Joe Baiden additional points before voting in the intermediate elections to Congress. In the office of the President of Ukraine previously named the best place for the defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, it is outside Ukraine.
