'What we don't know is whether this is just a one-off,' he added. Mark Galeotti, a professor and author on Russia, Putin and his wars, said the withdrawal is possibly an example of 'maskirovka' - a word that literally means 'something masked' but is used to describe a military tactic of deception that is embedded in the Russian military psyche.īut, speaking to BBC Radio 4, he added that an actual retreat from Kherson 'does make sense militarily' and it appears Russia's generals have finally been able to persuade Putin to stop micro-managing the war and allow them to take the best tactical decisions even if it is damaging politically. Zelensky said his troops will 'move very carefully, without emotions, without unnecessary risk' into the area Russia claims to have abandoned, 'strengthening our positions step by step' to avoid any potential traps. Issuing a warning to Moscow, he said: ' will mean you are declaring a war on the whole world. He also voiced fears that Russia may try to blow up a dam at Nova Khakovka - upstream of the Dnirpo River from Kherson - flooding the area and draining a reservoir which the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant relies on to cool itself, potentially triggering a meltdown. 'The enemy does not give us gifts,' he added. President Zelensky, speaking overnight, urged 'emotional restraint' at the news - suggesting the retreat may not be all that it seems. Not for those who took it, nor for those of us who understood it would be so but still prayed it wouldn't happen.' Margarita Simonyan, head of the RT network, added: 'I know for sure that this decision was not easy for anyone. Vladimir Solovyov, one of Russian state TV's most-outspoken mouthpieces, admitted it was a 'very difficult decision' but that General Surovikin had been 'courageous' to take it. Putin's propagandists, who reacted with fury to recent defeats in Kharkiv province, responded to the Kherson retreat with a sense of grim resignation. Conversely, taking it puts Ukrainian artillery within striking distance of Crimea which is Kyiv's ultimate objective. Strategically, the city was Russia's only toe-hold on the western bank of the Dnipro River and losing it makes an assault on Odesa - Ukraine's main port city and a key objective of the war - all-but impossible. Kherson was the only regional capital captured by his men since February, and sits in a province which he annexed just weeks ago with a vow that it would be 'forever' Russian. The withdrawal, if genuine, is the most humiliating defeat for Vladimir Putin in a long line of defeats since the war began. 'We continue to conduct the offensive operation in line with our plan,' he wrote in a post on Telegram. General Zaluzhnyi added that he is unable to confirm or deny whether the retreat is for real. General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, supreme commander of Ukraine's army, said his men have begun moving towards the city and have advanced four miles in two directions and captured about 12 villages in the last 24 hours. Artillery on the left bank plans to turn the city into ruins.'
