Breaking News: Russians Leave Nova Kakovka

Update:

As usual the fog of war is what it is. This just came through:

The General Staff denied its information about the withdrawal of Russian army units from Novaya Kakhovka

Information about the alleged withdrawal of the enemy from this settlement was made public as a result of incorrect use of available data. However, we will definitely release Nova Kakhovka as well, — declared the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Realize this is coming with denials and confusing information, including what looks like video of Russians using long range artillery on Ukrainian positions.

This is breaking, but it looks like Ukraine has launched an offensive to cross the Dnieper. This town is likely a starting point on an offensive towards Melitopol, or at least the establishment of a bridgehead across the river.

According to the Ukrainian General Staff as reported by Ukrainian media:

All units of Russians left Novaya Kakhovka “As of March 22, 2023, all units of the occupier’s army that were stationed in Novaya Kakhovka, Kherson region, had left the city. This was preceded bypassing the nearest dwellings of the local population for the purpose of profit,” the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a statement.
