This is based on social media clips of removal of some dumb flag.
Nobody sane, including Ukrainian army, is not buying it, in fact there has been speculation it might be a trap.
Let's chill and wait to see how things develop if/when the fighting starts
Im not sorry that I was correct that the gopniggers were skedaddling over the river. Removal of the flags was the first sign that occupation authorities were getting out while the getting was still good and now 2 days later the soldiers are going too.

Another SUCCESSFUL tactical withdrawal. Another SUCCESSFUL round of good-will gestures. Russia just can't stop WINNING.

Why is it that I doubt Russia has only lost 1500 if they are being forced to retreat?

As much as I want to style on vatnikbros right now, I'm genuinely surprised by this retreat. Even dedicated pro-Z bois are throwing in some shade.

I was convinced we'd see no major shifts in territory until spring due to overall weariness, strong Russian defensive positions and upcoming winter. My bet is that the bridge strike was the leading cause to all this and it fucked Russian logistics to an extreme degree.
To a certain extent. The bigger issue though is the fact Ukraine keeps blowing the bridges over the Dniper up. Russia needed to be able to push Ukraine back out of Artillery range if they were too hold Kherson over the winter. I have a theory alot of the massive attacks in the Bakhmut direction was to try and get Ukraine to weaken its Kherson line to a point where they could try and push back. But its just not happening. The Russian Army has been pretty incapable of making rapid advances in this war barring the very first week of it. They probably could have still held onto Kherson, but the cost would have been extremely prohibitive.

Now the only question is if the Russians intend to blow the Dam to cover their retreat.
 
even if russia gives up kherson (which i am not sure about) the more important question will be if ukraine is eventually able to cross the dnipro and take control of territory on the eastern bank of the river

in my opinion, what matters most is if the ukrainians can eventually take back nova kakhovka (where the dam that controls water supply to crimea is) and energodar (where the huge nuclear power plant is) because those are the two most important strategic assets in the occupied south

Supposedly Ukraine strike with 23 birgades (read: fuckload of soliders) and russia just crumbled and ran away under artillery fire.

While crossing big fucking river. Imagine how well that can go.
I'm too afraid to be happy, because I think Russia is only protecting as many of its forces it can to launch a significant attack later, but I'll take a minute to laugh at this real hard

Kherson was the big prize of this campaign season. Everyone is going to need to take a few weeks off soon, regardless of what happens.

Russia is definitely in retreat though. Ukraine has captured Sneed town (Snihurivka) which is huge. Last major town from the Northeast before Kherson.

Russia has blown up the bridges over irrigation channels south of the town.

Its ogre.

Also, video from the Russian occupational mayors car "accident". Looks like his vehicle accidentally exploded. Also note the direction arrows. Kherson was 64 KM away. Dude was running away.

lmao they've always been full of shit. I agree, this withdrawal isn't significant in this conflict, it just looks that way due to Ukie cope and a lack of understanding of warfare on the steppes. As reported by the WSJ, there are also negotiations between the US and Russia, the only parties that matter regarding this affair. That may hurt the Ukies or Kurwachen's feelings, but they decided to go along with being the proxies in this proxy war and there was always considerable risk they'd be thrown under the bus.

Are you high? One of the primary objectives of this war, if not THE primary objective of the war was securing Crimeas water supply. Russia cannot do that if they don't control Kherson.

In fact, controlling the water supply to Crimea, up until this point has been one of only two objectives Russia has accomplished. They still have not pushed Ukraine out of the Donbas, they still have not destroyed its military capacity, they still have no deterred its NATO and EU aspirations and Zelensky is still in charge.

If they lose Kherson they go from 2 out of 6 objectives secured to 1 out of 6 objectives secured. They still have the land corridor to Crimea, but without Kherson that could become an issue in the coming Months as the land Corridor has no natural boundaries stopping a Ukrainian push on the central front. With Kherson, the entire Right Flank of the Ukrainian Army is secured with the Dniper River blocking the Russians from pushing on it.
 
Vatdad Bob is gonna continue to whistle past the graveyard, it is what it is

Tacticool retreat brilliant manoovah big trap for the Nazis just wait for the counterattack blah blah blah the cope will never end save when it is replaced by seething about USA and polacks

Well my mindless bovine, its as if you never read about any other battles anywhere on this planet during our history like Washington’s retreat from New York, various tactical retreats during Napoleon Russian Campaign or Mao's Long March. This is in no way decisive or final in the context of warfare. Winter is coming.
