'Situation is tense': New Russian commander speaks on difficulties for Kremlin in Moscow-annexed areas in Ukraine

The new commander of Russian forces in Ukraine has admitted the difficulty Kremlin is facing while resettling the civilians from the Russian-occupied southern city of Kherson, describing the military situation as “tense”.

“The enemy continually attempts to attack the positions of Russian troops,” Sergei Surovikin said in his first televised interview since being appointed earlier this month

He added that the situation was particularly difficult around the occupied southern city of Kherson.

Surovikin admitted that the situation in Kherson was “not easy”.

“Further actions and plans regarding the city of Kherson will depend on the developing military-tactical situation, which is not easy. We will act consciously, in a timely manner, without ruling out difficult decisions,” he added.

Russian forces in these annexed regions have been driven back by between 20 and 30 kilometres (13-20 miles) in the last few weeks.

Putin's army is also at risk of being pinned against the western bank of the 2,200-kilometre-long (1,367-mile-long) Dnieper river that bisects Ukraine.
