Quote: "The Russian Federation wants to turn Kherson into a ‘city of death’. The Russian military mines everything they can: apartments, sewers. Artillery on the left bank is set to turn the city into ruins. This is what the ‘Russian world’ looks like: they came, robbed, celebrated, killed ‘witnesses’, left ruins and left."

Background:

• In the afternoon of 9 November, Sergei Surovikin, commander of the Russian troops in Ukraine, announced that the Russian Federation was transferring its troops to the left bank of the Dnipro River from Kherson.
• The Ukrainian President’s Office stated that a significant number of Russian military personnel remains in Kherson; there is no sign that they are retreating without a fight.
• The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine neither confirms nor denies the retreat of the Russian occupation forces from Kherson; the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is continuing.
