From a Wall Street Journal story by Ian Lovett headlined “Looting, Sabotage Marked Last Days of Russia’s Occupation of Kherson”:

KHERSON, Ukraine—Earlier this month, Russian soldiers ripped down power lines, knocked down cellphone towers and looted homes and businesses throughout Kherson, the Ukrainian city they had occupied since the early days of the war.

On Nov. 10, the Russian forces were gone.

Knocking out the electricity—along with the heat, water and cell reception—was among the last steps in the Russians’ slow, secret withdrawal from west of the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine.
