Russian Combat-Ready Units on the Move from Kherson Area, Says Ukraine's Ministry of Defense

Ukraine's Ministry of Defense reported that Russia is moving its most combat-ready units, including marines, airborne troops, and the 49th army, from the Kherson direction, likely due to their own losses and limited reserves. The recent blowing up of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant by Russian forces was apparently done to prevent an offensive by the Defense Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson area and release necessary reserves for transfer to other areas. The Russian leadership is trying to make it impossible for Ukraine to liberate captured territories by making them eliminate the aftermath of the man-made disaster.
