“Russian claim of Kherson withdrawal may be part of psyop – military spox 09.11.2022 22:20 https://www.ukrinform.net
The statement voiced by the Russian command on the pullback of their forces from Kherson in southern Ukraine may be part of a psychological operation to create a false impression about their true intentions.

That’s according to Nataliia Humeniuk, head of the joint coordination press center of the Southern Defense and Security Forces, who commented for Suspilne on the situation around Kherson, Ukrinform reports. http://suspilne.media/313378-u-nas-trivae-vijskova-operacia-aka-potrebue-rezimu-informacijnoi-tisi-gumenuk/

“Our defense forces do not rule out provocations on the part of the Russian occupiers as they might be creating a false impression about their true intentions,” the spokesperson said

Humeniuk also recalled that the ongoing military operation in the country’s south requires media silence.

“The occupiers are trying to fill the information space with their narratives in order to prepare excuses in case of rapid failure and disorient the local population and Ukraine’s Defense Forces,” she said.

As Ukrinform wrote earlier, citing multiple reports, the commander of the Russian troops, Sergei Surovikin, suggested to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Sergei Shoigu, that the Russian forces withdraw from the right bank of the Dnipro in Kherson region, where the regional center is located.

The head of regional military administration, Yaroslav Yanushevych, called on Ukrainians not to become euphoric as, no matter what the Russians say, only official sources can be trusted.

“Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, has said that it is still too early to talk about a Russian troop pullout from the southern city of Kherson amid reports that a respective decision has been made.

He said this in a statement to Reuters, Ukrinform reports.
“Until the Ukrainian flag is flying over Kherson, it makes no sense to talk about a Russian withdrawal,” Podolyak said.” https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3610973-too-early-to-talk-of-russian-withdrawal-from-kherson-podolyak.html

“We have a military operation going on, which requires a regime of informational silence – Humenyuk November 9, 19:03

A military operation is underway in the south, which requires a regime of information silence, Nataliya Humenyuk, head of the joint coordination press center of the Southern Defense and Security Forces, commented to Suspilny about the situation around Kherson.

“Meanwhile, the occupiers are trying to fill the information space with their messages in order to prepare excuses in case of rapid failure and disorient the local population and the Defense Forces of Ukraine,” she said.

She also added that the Defense Forces do not exclude provocations from the Russian occupiers and creating a false impression about their true intentions.

What is known

Russia announced that it would withdraw its troops from the right bank of the Dnieper to the left bank of the Kherson region — that is, from Kherson and nearby settlements. Such an order was given by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Shoigu, to the commander of the Russian troops in Ukraine, Surovikin.

The statement of the Ministry of Defense of Russia about the withdrawal of troops from the right bank to the left bank of the Dnieper can be a trap, military expert Mykhailo Zhirokhov commented to the Society.

The head of the Kherson OVA, Yaroslav Yanushevich, appealed to the residents of the Kherson region and everyone who has any information about the events on the southern front and asked them to observe informational silence.
