The commander of the brigade "Vostok" spoke about the possible consequences of the withdrawal of troops from Kherson
As a result of the withdrawal of Russian troops from the right bank of the Dnieper River, including the regional center of Kherson, a large grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will be released. Alexander Khodakovsky, commander of the Vostok brigade, writes about this in his Telegram channel.
Since the Russian troops, having left Kherson, will gain a foothold on the left bank of the Dnieper and will not attack for the time being, the enemy will have enough limited in number and quantity of equipment and weapons to maintain the existing situation. They will require much less than was previously concentrated in the Kherson direction.
- writes Khodakovsky.
Accordingly, the Ukrainian troops stationed in the Kherson region largely retained their combat capability. They will inevitably "surface" in the near future in some other direction. But in most directions, as the Vostok commander notes, Russian troops are not too numerous.
It is clear that the Ukrainian army will not go forcing the Dnieper. Therefore, part of the Russian troops from the Kherson direction will be removed. Now the Russian command is faced with a very important task - to competently dispose of the liberated forces and regroup them in those areas where the arrival of additional Ukrainian troops can be expected.
One can agree with Khodakovsky and add that in this situation, the most important task will be to prevent breakthroughs by Ukrainian troops in other directions, including the Zaporozhye direction and Donbass.
