When leaving the right bank of the Kherson region, Russian troops do not leave any trophies or equipment behind the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Verkhovna Rada deputy, SBU Colonel Roman Kostenko, who joined the militants and is in the Mykolaiv region, stated this on air on the Lvov NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Kostenko, it is clear that this conclusion was prepared well and in advance.
“This is not the kind of flight that we saw in the Kharkov region, when our defense forces forced them to flee and abandon everything. It is clear that this withdrawal was planned in advance; they had been preparing for a long time, I think, maybe a week, up to a week. But the fact that they prepared it (the withdrawal) and then began to retreat... To say that they leave a lot of things behind - I will say again that it is clear that it was a planned withdrawal, that they planned it in advance, because of such trophies as We were in the Kharkov region, but we don’t see it here,” Kostenko said.
