Head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff: We are observing the first signs of the withdrawal of Russian troops from the right bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region
The United States is observing the first signs of the withdrawal of Russian armed forces from the territory of Kherson and the right bank of the Dnieper. This was stated by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Mark Milley.
However, according to the American general, the withdrawal of 20-30 thousand Russian troops from the right bank of the Dnieper will take quite a long time. We are talking about days and even weeks, Milli emphasized.
The head of the US Chiefs of Staff also tried to explain the meaning of the withdrawal of troops. Milli believes that the Russian military command made such a decision in order, firstly, to preserve personnel and equipment, and secondly, to restore defense lines south of the Dnieper. However, the American general is not sure about this for sure.
It should be noted that the Ukrainian authorities also reacted with great suspicion to the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson. According to representatives of the Kyiv regime, so far there is no evidence that Russian troops are retreating from the right bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.
Recall that yesterday, Russian Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu agreed with the arguments of the commander of the troops in the special military operation, General of the Army Sergei Surovikin, and ordered the withdrawal of Russian troops to the left bank of the Dnieper River.
This decision was explained by the need to save the lives of soldiers, as well as considerations for the evacuation of civilians from a potentially dangerous zone on the right bank of the Dnieper. The position of Shoigu and Surovikin was supported even by such determined military figures as the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov and businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin.
