AFU.

This is coolbert:

AFU = Armed Forces Ukraine.

Herewith the take from the Russian-aligned Internet web site "South Front" the Kherson withdrawal.

1. "DEPUTY HEAD OF KHERSON REGIONAL ADMINISTRATION KIRILL STREMOUSOV DIED IN ROAD TRAFFIC INCIDENT"

"Deputy Head Of Kherson Regional Administration Kirill Stremousov Died In Road Traffic Incident"

"On November 9, the deputy head of the Kherson regional administration Kirill Stremousov died in a road traffic incident. The fatal accident took place near the town of Genichesk, where the Kherson regional administration was transferred amid the evacuation of civilians from the city of Kherson."

2. "RUSSIAN MILITARY PULL BACK FROM KHERSON"

"The first big city which recently became the capital of a new region of Russia will be abandoned by Russian forces. On November 9, the Russian military announced the withdrawal from Kherson."

"Commander of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, Russian General Surovikin, reported to Defense Minister Shoigu a plan to withdraw Russian troops to new defensive lines along the [left bank] Dnieper River. The Russian Defense Minister approved it. The transfer of Russian forces from the right bank of the river will be carried out in the near future."

3. "RUSSIA AND UKRAINE PREPARING FOR UPCOMING BATTLE FOR KHERSON"

"The Kherson region is preparing for heavy battles. The situation on the front lines remains extremely tense as the Armed Forces of Ukraine [AFU] launch attacks on Russian positions in different areas in an attempt to advance towards the city of Kherson, where the official evacuation of civilians ended."

4. "IN VIDEO: UKRAINIAN TROOPS PREPARING FOR ANOTHER MAJOR OFFENSIVE IN KHERSON"

"For two days now, the city of Kherson has been subjected to massive shelling by all types of artillery systems, from barrel artillery of various calibers to multiple launch rocket systems of Soviet and Western production. The AFU [Armed Forces Ukraine] units are deployed in the immediate vicinity of the city limits"

Retrograde movement as now evidently complete totally warranted. Resupply of all Russian forces on the right bank of the Dneiper river untenable and necessitating the movement to the left bank of the river.

Retrograde movement apparently too carried out in a planned and organized manner. Retrograde of this sort not shameful. Troops live to fight another day!
