Ukraine fears that Russia's retreat from the key city of Kherson could be 'a trap' to lure its army into a prolonged, bloody battle
Russia announced a military retreat "in the near future" on Wednesday to the opposite bank of the Dnieper River from where Kherson lies.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak told The Associated Press: "So far, we do not see any signs that Russia is completely leaving the city, which means that these statements may be disinformation." But Yaroslav Yanushevych, Kherson's Ukrainian-appointed governor, told Kherson "not to give in to euphoria" just yet. Local official Serhii Khlan also told reporters that the Russian army had blown up five bridges to slow down Ukrainian troops.
