The Russians are beginning to evacuate their helicopter base in Chaplinka, due to the fact that the HIMARS missile systems have this Russian-held town in their range.
The Russian base was also an important logistics post for the Russians. The movement of Russian forces and equipment from the zone that is within the range of US-made GLMRS missiles (of 90 km) will continue.
Wagner prepares resistance forces in Belgorod and Kursk
The private military company “Wagner”, managed by Yevgeny Prigozhin, continues to form military structures in the Belgorod and Kursk regions.
The sponsor of the Wagner group and the so-called “Putin’s cook” Yevgeny Prigozhin continues to form parallel military structures in the Belgorod and Kursk regions, despite the absence of the threat of a ground invasion of Ukrainian troops on Russian territory, while the Americans do not allow Russian reorganization.
Ukrainian troops at the same time complete the liberation of the west (right) bank of the Kherson region after the Russians retreated from there.
Satellite images confirm claims from both Ukrainian and Russian sources that Russian forces destroyed the Antonivskyi and railway bridges (near Kherson), as well as the bridge over the Novaya Kakhovka dam (east of Kherson city near Novaya Kakhovka ) across the Dnieper River, the Daryiv Bridge (northeast of the city of Kherson) across the Ingulets River in a last-ditch effort to block the advance of Ukrainian troops.
In addition, satellite geo-tracking images also show that Russian forces have prepared the first and second lines of defense south of the Dnieper River and are likely to continue reinforcing positions on the left bank in the coming days.
Ukrainian forces made significant territorial gains across the Kherson region on November 11 and continue to strengthen control of the west bank in the coming days.
It should be noted that the vigilance maintained by Western officials and Ukrainians on the ground regarding the retreat of the Russians from Kherson is justified.
If the Russians really fortify themselves on the left (eastern) bank of the Dnieper, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the right, then the regional center will, in fact, for the first time since its occupation by the Russians, turn into a front-line city, and by consequently, it will be subjected to heavy bombardment, as will other front-line cities.
It is also unclear whether the threat of undermining the Kahovka hydroelectric dam is real, so part of the city will be flooded.
