The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation stays in Kherson: Zelensky told Blef Moscow (Video)

According to the Head of State, the Russian military is not ready to leave the city even under the threat of the Armed Forces. Occupational command over 3,000 soldiers have moved to the city's right bank over the last 2 weeks, experts say. The Russian military only resort to that they retreat from Kherson. This opinion was expressed by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera. "I do not see the Russians flee massively from Kherson.

They pretend to be a strategic retreat. In fact, they are not ready to leave the region, even if they risk being surrounded by our troops," the head of state said. According to Zelensky, the Russian command keeps its best units in the region and waits for troops from other areas. "It was their information operation, they are not ready to leave Kherson. But they know that if we succeed, they will not be able to go out," the President continued.

Zelensky is convinced of the full liberation of the Kherson region in the future. "The price of this is too high is the death of people. We ask for more weapons to save the lives of our soldiers. The Russians do not want to stop, from the very beginning they had the same plan - to occupy the whole of Ukraine," he said. The Ukrainian command, as the president emphasized, cannot treat people as Russian generals. "Lives are important to us, we cannot say: go there and die.

We are looking for ways, we ask for more armored equipment to save more people," Zelensky said. Recall that the occupation administration of the Kherson region recently moved to the left bank of the Dnieper. Also, the Russians moved almost 70,000 people from the right bank. The head of Ukrainian military intelligence Cyril Budanov noted that the Russian leadership was introducing mobilized in Kherson, they will be transformed into "cannon meat".
