It sounds like Russia might be preparing to evacuate the Kherson region (North of the Dnipro), lots of rumblings of a full Civilian evacuation, as well as this.  I wonder if they will try to evacuate the civilians along with military equipment to avoid Ukrainian attacks. 

"Full civilian evacuation" sounds a lot like internment to me, basically taking hostages.

Exactly what it means is TBD. There are a significant number of civilians in Kherson that are "collaborators". They probably want to leave and up to now couldn't. There are also many civilians that are Ukrainian sympathizers and may want to leave, but only to go to Ukraine, not other Russian controlled territory. If this is just window dressing to allow the collaborators to run, that won't much matter. If it is a forced evacuation of everybody into Russian territory, that is another. The timing also matters, as others have pointed out. If this "evacuation" is mixed in with a Russian retreat, it is effectively using human shields. So far, Russia hasn't shown much ability to organize lots of movement of anything across the river in either direction. It remains to be seen if they can actually do so now.
