in total only 1,500 Kuban Cossacks and 600 horses followed the evacuating Ulagay Force to Crimea, and an important reason for the failure was the lack of response of the war-weary local population to the operation. On October 12, 1920, a truce was concluded between Poland and Soviet Russia. This enabled the Red Army to move troops from the Polish front to the Crimea and launch a successful offensive in November (the Perekop-Chongar operation). On November 17, the White Army evacuated the Crimea and the war on the Southern Front came to an end. References Battles of the Russian Civil War Conflicts in 1920 August 1920 events
