Russia has withdrawn some officers and medics from around the annexed city of Kherson as fears of a major Ukrainian offensive grow, said The Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Moscow is in retreat across the Dnipro River in anticipation of an advance of Ukrainian troops on the regional capital, the US-based think tank said on Sunday.
"Russian forces continued to withdraw from western Kherson Oblast while preparing to conduct delaying actions that will likely be only partially effective," concluded the ISW, in a Russian Offensive Campaign assessment, on Saturday.
The think tank, quoting the Ukrainian General Staff, stated that officers and medics had been evacuated from Beryslav, a city northeast of Kherson.
It added that 2,000 newly mobilized, inexperienced forces had reportedly been left to hold the frontline to delay the Ukrainian advance as the Russians completed its withdrawal.
If the assessment proves correct, the ISW warned of a rout by Ukrainian forces. "Russia's poorly trained, newly mobilized reservists are very unlikely to stand and resist a Ukrainian counterattack if Ukrainian forces chose to attack them and chase the withdrawing forces," it said.

bs
They did that in 1914 too!
withdrawing before they send in the nukes?
I hope they aren’t going to the wars in Myanmar and Ethiopia.
Ukrainian officers must have told Kristol something and then he reported it to the janitor at the ISW who then told a commie at Business Insider
ISW is total bs, top propaganda analyst
I guess we’re supposed to believe the media now, because they promise they’re not lying about this.
The old movie “The Bridge” comes to mind.
That was my first thought, too.
No way is Ukraine, with their inferior forces, going to win this war.
From the article:
“It added that 2,000 newly mobilized, inexperienced forces had reportedly been left to hold the frontline to delay the Ukrainian advance as the Russians completed its withdrawal.”
Holy Moses! putin is an evil man
Yes.
And Zelensky is a saint!
The ISW board includes such “illustrious” ppl as Gen. David Petreus, Gen. Jack Kean, Bill Kristol, Kelly Craft (former ambassador to Canada and the UN), and Joe Lieberman. Basically, Democrats. 😜
Of course he is! He’s fighting right alongside his men everyday! Haven’t you seen his myriad interviews where he’s dressed in his camouflage uniform, obviously fresh from battle? /s
The think tank, quoting the Ukrainian General Staff…

Sure Jan.
I guess we believe the media now?
“No way is Ukraine, with their inferior forces, going to win this war”
You are right, but NATO / USA intervention will have and has had a say.
