Russia orders troop withdrawal from Ukraine’s Kherson city

Russia has ordered its forces to withdraw from the Ukrainian city of Kherson, the only regional capital seized by President Vladimir Putin’s troops since the war began.
The announcement on Wednesday followed weeks of Ukrainian advances towards the city and signalled a potentially huge blow to Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine, which it invaded in late February.
In televised comments, General Sergei Surovikin said it was no longer possible to keep Kherson city supplied.

It's not a withdrawal it's a special military retreat

[robertghilarducci]

Admire the Ukrainian fighters, wish them well

[zahidzada]

Be a invader and be a defender its different courage to fight, respect brave Ukrainian men and women.

[waylon]

Everything Russia always says is the completely opposite. We know by now.

[laurarodriguez]

I admire the Ukrainian troops they are so brave. They are not afraid of nothing, they are warriors. Prayers for all Ukrainians.

Russian logistics are awful, just awful. While things seem stable on the front right now, Ukraine has the upper hand in the logistics game.

Only a coward would shy away from the battlefield to attack civilians.

[MsNextgeneration]

They say out on the streets that a good Russian is a dead Russian.🤣

Ukrainian are fighting NATO and Taliban style combined techniques. Never engage face to face. Hit from different location and run to exhaust the big enemy.

This could be a signal of changes at the top? Shoigu and Putin have always been soul mates. But recently Shoigu has been blamed for Russian failures in their war in Ukraine. Shoigu has been widely seen as 'on the way out'. But maybe this is a signal that Shoigu is making a grab for power and that Putin is on the way out? After all, this was a huge stage managed announcement from the Kremlin top showing Shoigu surrounded by his approving generals. But Putin was glaringly absent. If Shoigu succeeds, then that could lead to a negotiated settlement with Ukraine.

We should all know by now is we go by what Russia "does" not what it

[busterbayheusin]

Now would be a good time to just call the war and go back home. No more people need to die for this.

[michaeltoney]

I’ll believe it when we see them evacuating

[bettygray]

CELL MATES in the future Shogun and Putin

Glory to Ukraine !

Why Russia moved out civilians, now moving out soldiers? They won’t give up without a fight something is planned for Kherson but what?
