"I will explain why Russian withdrawal was inevitable, why they managed to withdraw in one day, and why the Ukrainians did not chase them down."

"Russian troops are suffering catastrophic losses while retreating from the key Ukrainian city of Kherson, according to reports.

Ukraine's Ministry of Defense published a video on Twitter that appears to show Ukrainian attacks on Russian columns retreating across the Dnieper River.

'For every meter of our land—fire!' the ministry wrote as a caption."

I am a kind of confused now. Reports said, including this article, that there were tens of thousands of Russian troops on the northern Kherson region. Then Ukrainian troops moved in, and no report of battles with these remaining troops. Nor the news of mass surrender. One possible explanation is that there were not many left when Ukrainians started a full offensive. That is, a majority of them had already escaped to the other side of river.
