Sergei Surovikin announced the move during televised remarks Wednesday, saying it was no longer possible to keep Kherson city supplied. <\/p>\n<p>According to Surovikin, Russian troops would be better utilized on the defensive lines on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand that this is a very difficult decision, but at the same time we will preserve the most important thing \u2014\u00a0the lives of our servicemen and, in general, the combat effectiveness of the group of troops, which it is futile to keep on the right bank in a limited area,\u201d Surovikin said.
