Background:

  • On 9 November, Russian propagandists reported the death of Kirill Stremousov, a  so-called deputy head of the occupation administration of Kherson Oblast. Ukrainska Pravda’s source confirmed his death.

  • A bit later the same day, Sergey Surovikin, commander of the Russian troops in Ukraine, announced that the Russian Federation was transferring its troops to the left bank of the Dnipro River from Kherson. However, the Ukrainian President’s Office has stated that there is still a significantly large grouping of Russian soldiers in Kherson; there is no sign that they are retreating without a fight.
