I’ve seen a report on the Guardian that Russia has withdrawn from Nova Kahovhka, on the eastern bank of the Dnipro river (opposite Kherson city). If true, it unlikely the only area on the eastern bank they’re withdrawing from as it makes little sense to pull back from just that city.
There were some rumours a few weeks back they were about to pull odd but it seemed odd they would - The river is a natural barrier that’s difficult to cross. They’re either counting of the beachhead being to hard for Ukraine to maintain (a reverse of the Russian occupation of the western side of the river bank) or are over-stretched so needing to redeploy elsewhere along the frontline.
