The civilian population must be removed from the combat zone in Kherson, President Vladimir Putin said, the Rosia media reported.
“Now, of course, those who live in Kherson should be removed from the zone of the most dangerous actions,” Putin said, adding that the civilian population should not suffer from shelling and offensive events related to military operations.
Putin also said that already 49,000 mobilized Russians out of 318,000 are in the combat zone.
Yesterday it became known that Russian troops are preparing to surrender Kherson to Ukraine and move to the left bank of the Dnieper. Before that, the occupation administration has already moved there.
