Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered Ukrainian units in the Kherson region to move to the left bank of the Dnieper River.

APA reports that the TASS agency reported on this.

Personnel and equipment were ordered to be safely transported across the river.

Execution of the order was entrusted to General Sergey Surovikin.

For this purpose, General Surovikin suggested that it is more appropriate to take a defensive position along the Dnieper River.
