"They are attempting to negotiate conditions of laying down arms, under the norms of international humanitarian law,” said Humeniuk.

According to her, the commanders of these Russian units are looking to find ways to abandon their positions by any means available. This could include attempting to retreat to Russian back lines, or laying down their weapons.

“The degree of creaking resolve and demoralization is so high, even the commanders now realize they don’t have anywhere to go,” Humeniuk added.

She said that enemy troops are aware of the major Ukrainian victory in Kharkiv Oblast.

As their ability to cross the Dnipro River remains severely curtailed, Russian forces on the river’s western bank are forced to look for ways to extract themselves from the area – according to the spokesperson.

5. Be careful UKR. Don't get too much on your plate logistically

And we allies need to increase our offensive weapon support

8. My concern too.

If not careful, they may fall into the same trap they caught the Russians in.

On edit: The Kherson front is less vulnerable to this than the Donbas front. If the Russians in Kherson are pushed to the other side of the Dnipro river, the river will serve as natural protection of Ukraine's front line.

15. But also to the Russian front.

But it's a barrier that has to be breached in any event, unless they can manage to fight on two fronts S and SW of Enerhodar and east towards Mariupol'.

6. The Russians are playing for time. The Russian commanders and troops could just abandon

their weapons, hold their hands high with a white flag, and walk toward toward the UKR troops.

7. I'm guessing they don't want to be charged with war crimes.

[NJCher]

11. sure

that's why people being chased by the police in the U.S. always stop to negotiate.

Work things out, you know.

13. UKR Army takes prisoners for exchanging to get their own back. Also, UKR needs

more to leverage the return of civilians kidnapped by Russia.
