18 October 2022 at 23:31 Russian general: The army is preparing “evacuation” of Kherson county The Russian commanding general in Ukraine, Sergej Surovikin, claims in an interview with the state-owned TV channel Rossiya that an “evacuation” of civilians from Kherson county is underway. The Russian-appointed mayor of Kherson, Vladimir Saldo, says that four towns in the county will be “moved” to the southern bank of the Dnipro River. At the same time, Surovikin describes the situation in Kherson as “tense”, while the Ukrainian counter-offensive in the region is ongoing. Recently, the Ukrainian authorities have introduced a media ban on information about the offensive in Kherson. Experts believe this could be a sign that there could be bigger developments in the area in the future. Kherson is one of the four regions of Ukraine that were recently “annexed” by Russia in an illegal and invalid referendum. The regional capital Kherson was the first major Ukrainian city to fall to Russian forces after the invasion in February.
