Russian Commander: 'Tense' Situation for Troops in Ukraine

Russia's new commander in Ukraine says the situation in the southern Kherson region is “very difficult” as Kyiv forces wage an offensive to retake southern and eastern areas that Moscow illegally annexed last month. "The situation in this area is difficult. The enemy is deliberately striking infrastructure and residential buildings in Kherson,” Russian air force General Sergei Surovikin told the state-owned Rossiya 24 television news channel on Tuesday, according to Reuters. Surovikin’s comment seemingly acknowledged Russia’s plan to evacuate civilians ahead of Ukraine’s offensive to reclaim Kherson, one of four regions under Russian control. He called Tuesday for an "organized, gradual displacement" of civilians from four towns on the Dnipro River, a 2,200-kilometer-long river that bisects Ukraine.
