According to the information revealed by Russia, it is to defend Khlsong and turn Khlsong, a strategic city occupied by the Russian army, into another Mariupol . However, in actual operation, especially the water discharge carried out in the new Kahovka Dam, is not like this, but it is more like the intention to destroy the Khlsong area and turn it into a swamp, temporarily stopping the Ukrainian army's progress.
As for the so-called Ukrainian army's blowup of the new Kahovka dam, it can only expose the IQ: with the capabilities of the Ukrainian army, whether it is "Haimas" rocket launcher or fighter to break through the Russian air defense network and still bombs, it has no effect. To blow up the dam, it requires at least dozens of tons of explosives. Does the Ukrainian army, dozens of kilometers away from the new Kahovka dam, have this ability now? There are news that the Russian army has placed explosives and landmines on dams and power stations.
Analysts believe that the Russian army should have evacuated Khlsong a long time ago and freed its precious troops for use in other areas. After Khlsong's supply line was severely weakened, the Russian army actually did not have the conditions to defend Khlsong. It is already a bit late to retreat. Perhaps it was General Surovikin, the commander-in-chief of the "Special Military Operation", convinced the Kremlin that the military situation in the Khlsong area had deteriorated to the point where no political considerations could be continued. The Kremlin agreed to the Russian army retreat from the Khlsong area.
Post-war Mariupol
Analysts believe that even if the Russian army wants to hold on to Khlsong, the Ukrainian army is likely to not conduct a strong attack. "They will not attack and destroy the city like Russia destroys Mariupol." The Ukrainian army either contacted the Russian army and asked the latter to evacuate from the reserved passage, or "fixed these Russian troops there so that they could not escape."
Some information shows that the Russian army in the Khlsong area has severely lacked supplies and has not received rotation rest for several months. The morale is low. The reason why they still insist is that there is supervisor team behind them. Everyone wants to leave Khlsong as soon as possible and go to the rear to repair, have a good sleep, and have a hot meal.
Of course, this information has not been confirmed. The Russian army does not have smartphones like the Ukrainian army. Even the feature phones that are not equipped with cameras were confiscated after going to the battlefield. The photos and videos of the Russian army's frontlines that were revealed were taken by dedicated people, and the Russian army on the frontlines do not have this ability.
