‘It’s significant’: Putin orders troops to withdraw from Kherson

CNN international diplomatic editor Nic Robertson reports from Ukraine on Ukrainian military officials saying Russia wants to turn Kherson into a “city of death.” #CNN #News

He had to order them otherwise they would go in smoke. Good Job Ukraine. God bless America for helping Ukraine.

My worst fear is that the Russians are withdrawing so that the moment Ukranian forces retake Kherson that they would use a tactical nuke or Biological weapons to rid themselves of a major part of Ukranian forces. This is just too good to be true. Please to the leadership of Ukraine, please see this as a trap and be careful and safe

Never at any time in the past eight months have the Russians exhibited any kind of subtlety or used imaginative tactics and they're not about to start now. It really is just a withdrawal because their position is untenable not a bluff to lure the Ukrainians into a trap. Kherson is far too valuable to give up unless they had no other option.

Any square miles lost by invaders is a victory for justice, Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

Have the Russians finished looting Kherson? Won't leave till the looting is done.

Very good commentary by Nick Robertson.

Keep the enemy within arms length, don't allow them to retreat. They want to send nukes after their troops retreat

Much respect to the Ukrainian Armed Forces! They’re some brave and well trained soldiers of modern time!!!

[anthonycarpenter]

Got this on twitter? Sure they didn't say: We are retweeting from Kherson? Not retreating?
Either way: watch your back!

"This is Private Vitaliy Skakun, combat engineer, 35th Naval Infantry Brigade, Hoorah !" And he blew up a bridge while he was still on the bridge, just to stop the advance of Russian tank column. Hero of Ukraine will be remembered.

If you were going to use a tactical nuke wouldn't you recall your troops out of the area?

I am afraid that this city is about to become toast.

I'm not American but I've always thought America was a great country and never get the credit they deserve sometimes. Standing up for Ukraine and the brutal invasion, the torture, looting, murder, and horrific sexual violence of toddlers, the elderly, and even men have suffered. America has made mistakes but also has done a lot of good in the world and I'm thankful the U.S exists. It's actually really sad to see people in what was considered the beacon of democracy, vote for election deniers. Russia has even admitted on their state tv they actively interfere. The host on election night even said and boasted "happy interference day"
They want distrust of elections.

Time for Putin to ask for surrender talks, for Russia to admit it lost this war.And for Putin to be tried for crimes against humanity. There was no reason for this attack on Ukraine and Russia needs to pay war reparations for all the damage done.Of course, nothing can bring back the lives of all the Ukrainians killed by this war, but they will be remembered for their courage.

"‘It’s significant’ (as Trum)Putin orders troops to withdraw from Kherson" so let's "Convince It Forward" with Slava BOHU

[davidferrari]

It's a trap, Ukraine faces 2 winters: the natural and apparently the nuclear too !

[kayak]

It’s pretty obvious something big is coming from Russia. I don’t buy into this victory thing.

[TeddyR_Official]

Pro-Russian trolls call this kind of withdrawal, the “Mongolian tactic” 😂

[journeymansmitty]

The way how he's talking sounds like that city is going to be a bloodbath🤔

[bigtex]

Putin needs them at home to fight all his enemies there.
