The MoD said that Russia will “need to regenerate higher quality, mobile forces” to counter Ukraine’s efforts to reclaim their land. The head of Russian-annexed Crimea recently announced the completion of a civilian evacuation organised by Russia’s forces in the occupied Kherson region.
Sergei Aksyonov said on Telegram: “The work to organise residents leaving the left side of the Dnipro [River] to safe regions of Russia is completed”.
Russia’s installed authorities in the region have urged residents to cross the river as Ukraine steadily approaches the city. Vladimir Saldo, a Russia-installed governor in the area, said at least 70,000 people had left their homes in the region in the span of a week.
Ukraine’s government has compared this to Soviet-like “deportations” of its people.
