Russian troops on the left bank of the Kherson region retreated 5-15 km from the Dnieper after the destruction of the dam.
This was announced by the representative of the operational command “South” Natalya Gumenyuk on the air of the telethon.
According to her, they began to withdraw troops a few days before the explosion.
Tracking the situation with the behavior of the enemy on the left bank, we can state that they are pulling back their units. They started moving a few days before this terrorist attack,” Gumenyuk said.
It is possible that this is due to the fact that some residents of the left bank, after the dam broke, managed to swim across to the right bank of Kherson, which was previously impossible to do.
On June 6, the Russians shelled the city during the evacuation of the civilian population.
They hit those areas of Kherson that were flooded. And again they shelled the shopping center, perceiving it as a hub where they can gather for help,” Gumenyuk said.
She added that at the same time, the invaders are dispersing disinformation that it is allegedly because of the shelling of the Defense Forces that they do not have the opportunity to evacuate residents from the flooded areas on the left bank of the Kherson region, which is now temporarily under occupation.
After the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, the Russian army does not stop shelling the right bank of the Kherson region, the National Police reported on June 7. Under the blow of the Russian military were the settlements of the Berislav and Kherson regions. Russian troops carried out air strikes with guided bombs.
The police continue to evacuate citizens from the flooded areas, fixes the consequences of shelling and undermining the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station by Russian troops.
During evacuation activities in the city of Kherson, police officers who were rescuing people from a flooded area were dropped by the Russian military from a drone.
As a result, two law enforcement officers were injured, they have mine-explosive injuries and multiple shrapnel wounds.
The Russian military dress up in civilian clothes and try to blend in with the local population, which is being evacuated to the right bank of the Dnieper. Thus, the occupiers are planning to use the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station in order to throw sabotage and reconnaissance groups into the liberated territories of the Kherson region, the Center for National Resistance reported.
Meanwhile, a video appeared on the network of how the invaders flee from their positions due to the flooding of the territory.
