Quote from Reznikov: "Frankly speaking, I do not believe that the Russians will conduct street battles (in Kherson - ed.). It is not useful for them.  You know that we control all the bridges across the Dnipro using American systems like the HIMARS, as well as other MLRS like the M270, and 155 mm artillery; all these are modern NATO standard systems like the M777 from the US. 

For them [the Russians], staying in Kherson is a real risk, because they will not have the chance to flee, as they did on the Kharkiv front, for example, or in Izium and other cities."

Details: Reznikov states that Russians will flee Kherson because it is risky for them to stay apart on different banks of the Dnipro.

At the same time, the minister admitted that the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kherson Oblast has slowed down due to rain.
