Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is skeptical of Russia's claims about the "withdrawal" of troops from the Right Bank and suggests that this may actually be a strategic move to regroup forces. 

The head of state said this in an interview with CNN.

"So they (the

Russians - ed

.) are ready to defend this region, and they are not ready to leave the city, and the fact that they are in these houses

(which they captured - ed.)

 means that they are seriously preparing, but we are also seriously ready for these events"

, - noted Zelensky. 

The leader of Ukraine emphasized that the Defense Forces are ready to retake the territories occupied by the Russians.

Zelensky emphasized that in Ukraine

 there is a strategy and different directions during the counterattack. 

When the ZSU will liberate Kherson

Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, believes that the Ukrainian military will soon enter Kherson.

According to his assessment, this may happen in 

2-3 weeks

, or maybe 

5-7 days or more. 

Arestovych added that, so far, no mass flight of Russian troops to the left bank of the Dnieper has been observed.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine commented on the situation with the withdrawal of the occupiers from the right bank of the Kherson region on the second day after the relevant statements of Russia.

At the moment, the Armed Forces of Ukraine can neither deny nor confirm such information.

The offensive of Ukrainian servicemen continues.

In addition, military expert Oleg Zhdanov predicts a trap for the Defense Forces in Kherson after the alleged departure of the occupiers from the city.
