RUSSIA / FSU POLITICS - In Brief 05 Nov 2022 by Alex Teddy
On November 4 Putin said that the civilians still in Kherson are being evacuated. He spoke about the shelling and the intensifying fighting.  Putin said that 49,000 of the 318,000 mobilized reservists who were called up in September 2022 have been sent to Ukraine. Open media sources have confirmed that over 100 of them have been killed. Pro-Moscow Telegram channels on November 3 showed that the Russian Flag over Kherson's Administration building has been lowered. Some took this as a sign of Russian retreat.
