REUTERS/Valentyn OgirenkoNov 12 (Reuters) - Russian forces destroyed the critical infrastructure in the southern city of Kherson before fleeing, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday, adding that local authorities were starting to stabilise the city. But pro-Moscow forces are putting up a much stiffer fight elsewhere and Zelenskiy said the battles in the eastern Donetsk region were hellish. "Before fleeing from Kherson, the occupiers destroyed all the critical infrastructure: communications, water, heat, electricity," Zelenskiy said in a video address. Zelenskiy said Ukrainian troops had taken control of more than 60 settlements in the Kherson region. Stabilization measures are also underway in Kherson," he said, noting that almost 2,000 mines, trip-wires and unexploded shells had been dealt with so far.

Russia's military has made it a priority to quickly recoup the number of soldiers it has to fight. Mobilization efforts have resulted in soldiers with little training being sent to the front lines. Some of these recruits had less than 10 days of training, the Times reported. "They are giving them at best basics and at worst nothing and throwing them into combat, which suggests that these guys are just literally cannon fodder," William Alberque, a specialist in the Russian armed forces, told the Times. One user on social media claimed Russian soldiers were living in "inhumane conditions" and had to provide themselves with food, the Times reported.

"Putin knew he would not be able to sustain high-intensity missiles strikes for a long time due to a dwindling arsenal of high-precision missiles," the think tank said. Vorontsov explained the move by citing Moscow's concern about the possibility of the deployment of U.S. nuclear weapons in Poland near the borders of Belarus and Russia. He emphasized that in compliance with the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Russia had no intention for now of fitting nuclear warheads to Belarusian weapons systems or transferring nuclear warheads to the territory of Belarus. He said the shelling of the city of Nikopol, which is located across the Dnieper from the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, damaged a dozen residential buildings, several stores and a transportation facility. "Working in very challenging conditions, operating staff at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant are doing everything they can to bolster its fragile offsite power situation," Grossi said.
