Ukrainian military officials have detected the movement of Russian combat trucks and the installation of anti-drone nets in Kakhovka’s industrial zone, warning that Moscow may be exploiting a relief truce in the Kherson region to prepare a new offensive. Reports from the Ukrainian military and Bild cite the deployment of Grad rocket systems near Radensk as evidence that Russian forces are rebuilding their positions before the ceasefire expires on Nov 1. The Institute for the Study of War also cautioned that Russia might use the pause to forcibly deport civilians from the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky.
