No, that is just your strawman argument. Kherson is being stripped bare down to the appliances, autos,etc by Russians.
The vacant houses will shelter Russian troops if the UKr troops try to take the city and Russian arty on the other side of the river have the city widely targeted so if the UKr troops try to liberate it they will take heavy casualties. Russian propaganda teams are currently filming in Kherson for the “before” photos before their arty destroys it later to blame Ukr for its destruction.
Try to keep up.

“KHERSON CITY / 5 NOV/ RU troops continue to forcibly deport Ukrainian citizens within the urban area. These kidnappings occur against a backdrop of general looting of civil infrastructure to include communications, cellular systems & power transmission equipment.”
Ukrainians mad that they can’t target the Kherson civilians, huh?
And any civilian that has been told to leave Kherson city proper and has not heeded such warnings should be forcibly removed, for their own safety. :duh:
