Journalists showed satellite photos of occupants fleeing from the right bank of Kherson region on ferries
In Kherson region, Russian occupants are obviously fleeing in a hurry, as they are moving military equipment and personnel from the right to the left bank of the Dnipro. All because of the successful advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This is reported by journalists of the Scheme project and the Russian service of Radio Liberty with reference to satellite images.
Thus, since the beginning of October, a cargo ferry has already transported military personnel and equipment from the area of Kozatske village to Nova Kakhovka on several trips. The transportation of equipment is also evidenced by publications in social networks of the military themselves.
Journalists found in social networks the profile of a soldier named Makar Teplinsky, who was born in Luhansk region and is fighting on the side of Russia.
Since the beginning of October, he has been posting photos and videos of Russian troops moving from the right to the left bank of the Dnipro River – near the town of Nova Kakhovka.
On October 10, the soldier posted a photo taken on a ferry with military trucks.

Russian authorities are seriously considering a large-scale withdrawal of their troops west of the Dnipro River in Kherson region.
