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.
