Russian forces are deliberately removing a large number of personnel and equipment from the western bank of the Dnieper, and are also preparing an explosion at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.

Russian forces are creating conditions for the withdrawal of the military and occupying “authorities” from the western bank of the Dnieper in anticipation of the imminent Ukrainian offensive. This was announced by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) in a report for October 20.

Earlier in the Kherson public there was information that Russian troops broke into a fire station in the Kherson region and delivered fire trucks, as well as stolen civilian vehicles and other household items to Holaya Pristan. In addition, Radio Liberty reported that Russian forces are moving military equipment by ferry from Kozatsky (the west bank of the Dnieper) to Novaya Kakhovka (the east bank).

“Taken together, these reports indicate that Russian forces are likely to deliberately withdraw large numbers of personnel and equipment from the west bank of the Dnieper. Russian forces have likely learned, at least in in part, from their failures during the panic retreat in the Kharkovskaya area in the face of the Ukrainian counter-offensive. From a military point of view, it would be more reasonable to withdraw men and equipment in perfect order to avoid a new devastating defeat. Such a defeat in Kherson could pinch Russian forces and equipment on the western bank of the Dnieper,” analysts stressed.

In addition, according to ISW, Russia continues to prepare for an attack on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, which it intends to blame on Ukraine.

“Russian sources are likely creating informational conditions for Russian forces to blow up the dam after they retreat from the western part of the Kherson region, accusing Ukrainian forces of flooding the Dnieper River and nearby settlements … Russia’s ongoing preparations for a fake attack on the Kakhovskaya HPP are also likely intended to divert attention from reports of Russian losses in the Kherson region,” the report said.

Earlier, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that the grouping of Russian troops in the near future may withdraw from the right-bank part of the Kherson region to the left bank.
