Glad we finally found someone who can speak on behalf of the whole country. Now care to provide an example of a nations that don't want to join NATO (if there are any)? Do Belarusians want to join? Serbs? Taiwanese?
Australians? How much resources would it take to "convince" a small nation that they want to join NATO? Is it a stable system, if you have a hegemony and global reserve currency what can possible stop you from endless expansion and consumption of more regions? Congrats you have a solution to perpetual word at war! Possible outcomes of conflict in Ukraine, either things go how they were prior to 2014, or Ukraine enters NATO and it starts all over, world gets dragged into the same thing but now to free people in Belarus because they just want to join NATO so muuch!
I guess if the masses don't question why would Russia shoot at the nuclear power plant that it controls, let people out of Mariupol before taking it over, or blow up their own gas pipeline before it's needed the most, they won't question why would UA's Major General of Defence Intelligence Agency want to take Nova Kakhovka dam under artillery fire control, or how exactly that would accelerate Russian withdrawal? I mean people still believe that Orc's just like to shoot at themselves for fun right??

Or did CNN started to push RU propaganda?
The head of Ukraines Defense Intelligence Agency, Major Gen. Kyrylo Budanov told CNN on Wednesday, the Russians are trying to remove and take with them all the remains of their so-called occupation administration from Kherson city and surrounding areas.
...
Russia, he said, realizes and understands the whole difficulty of their situation and they dont want to be totally encircled.
Budanov said the Russian withdrawal will accelerate when Ukraine takes the Nova Kakhovka dam under our artillery fire control.
Thats why all our fighting units are moving towards both Kherson and Nova Kakhovka, he added.

And, most importantly, the control of the dam is key for Crimea as it may restrict (or allow) the water supply, not something to blow up with artillery (another stupid theory - Ukraine blowing up the key to their hold over Crimea) and that is why it may have been mentioned.
Now, go back to the drawing board of your alternate reality. BTW, curiously and as of now, your link points to this headline:

Ukraine's military intelligence says Russia is reinforcing Kherson with recruits as "cannon fodder"
From CNN's Nic Robertson in Kyiv
Ukraines military intelligence says Russia continues to remove its occupation administration from the southern Kherson region but is reinforcing the city with recently mobilized recruits and suggests they are being used as cannon fodder.
Ah such a concise and clear explanation, so general wants to take the damn under artillery fire because it's a key for Crimea and that's why it'll accelerate Russian withdrawal? Clear as mud, but who cares just need to arrange words in a somewhat readable sentence, targeted audience can't think for themselves anyway.
"I don't see them [the Russians] running away from Kherson. This is an information attack, I can't disclose everything. This is an attack so that we go there, so that we transfer our troops there from other dangerous directions. It was their [Russian] information operation. They [the Russians] are not ready to leave Kherson. But they know that if we succeed, they won't be able to leave. The Russians are aware of this problem and danger," Zelensky said.
