Russians will gladly give up ground knowing they can retake it just to continue the process of destroying Ukrainian manpower and military hardware Ukraine can NOT afford to lose. It’s called, drag in and destroy and been working effectively for about 4-5 months now......

obody in the history of warfare has ever deliberately given up a bridgehead across a major river just so they can recross it later to inflict more casualties during the crossing.

If Russia does withdraw, it will be because it is much easier to defend the east side of the river. Unless Russia was planning a major drive north and west from Kherson, it made no sense to hold on to that bridgehead. Simple as that.
