From ISW (dated 10/22):.
The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces have totally abandoned their positions in Charivne and Chkalove (both approximately 33km northwest of Nova Kakhovka), and Russian officers and medics have supposedly left from Beryslav. The Ukrainian General Staff added that Russian forces are also getting rid of patients from the Kakhovka Hospital on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, likely to release up hospital beds for Russian military casualties that may result from the withdrawal throughout the river. The UK Ministry of Defense reported on October 22 that Russian forces completed building of a barge bridge along with the harmed bridge and forecasted that the barge bridge would become a critical crossing point for Russian forces as Ukrainian forces advance towards Kherson City.

The Ukrainian General Staff included that Russian forces are likewise eliminating clients from the Kakhovka Hospital on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, likely to release up health center beds for Russian military casualties that may result from the withdrawal across the river. The Ukrainian General Staff kept in mind that some Russian elements are preparing Kherson City for city battle, while other servicemembers continue to leave the city by means of the ferryboat operating in the area of the Antonivsky Bridge.
