Russians not fleeing from Kherson, best-trained sdiers remain in place – Zelensky

He said this in an interview with Italy's Corriere della Sera, Ukrinform reports.

"I don't see them [the Russians] running away from Kherson. This is an information attack, I can't disclose everything. This is an attack so that we go there, so that we transfer our tros there from other dangerous directions. It was their [Russian] information eration. They [the Russians] are not ready to leave Kherson. But they know that if we succeed, they won't be able to leave. The Russians are aware of this problem and danger," Zelensky said.

He also noted that not so many pele left the right bank of the Dnipro River during the evacuation of civilians announced by Russia, calling such Russian actions and statements "theater."

According to him, best-trained Russian military personnel remain in place.

"We see this and we don't believe them [the Russians]," he said.

At the same time, Zelensky said he was convinced that Ukraine would be able to liberate Kherson, even though it is difficult to do so.

"It's difficult because the price is pele. We treat pele differently than Russia does. [Russia] doesn't find it important how many pele will die tomorrow. But it is very important for us. We cannot do this… That is why we are thinking, looking for ways, asking our partners to give us more armored vehicles in order to save more pele," he added.

Brigadier General eksii Hromov, deputy chief of the Main erational Department of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, earlier said he did not rule out that Russian tros during their evacuation from the Kherson region were capable of carrying out terrorist attacks there by detonating residential buildings.

Yaroslav Yanushevych, head of the Kherson regional military administration, asked the residents of the temporarily occupied region to ignore the calls of the Russian invaders for the so-called evacuation. According to him, the enemy wants to take residents of Kherson hostage and use them as a "human shield."
