Breaking: Russia Leaves Kherson In Stunning Defeat To Putin by ryloy: 4:38pm On Nov 09, 2022
Russia's military has been ordered to pull out of the Ukrainian city of Kherson, the only regional capital it captured after invading in February.

Russia's commander in Ukraine, Gen Sergei Surovikin, said it was no longer possible to keep supplying the city.

The withdrawal means Russian forces will pull out entirely from the western bank of the River Dnipro.

It is a significant blow as Russia faces a Ukrainian counter-offensive.

It’s excellent news for Ukraine. They’ll get to hit the Russians as they withdraw with HIMARS, and counter battery radars exist to take out artillery firing on Ukrainian troops.

Taking Kherson without costly street fighting is a great outcome

And just in case anyone tries to spin this as a ‘goodwill gesture’, it was Ukrainian counterattacks and sound strategic thinking that forced Russia into this.

Basically Ukraine telegraphed and announced a counter attack in Kherson, used that to lure many Russian troops to the left bank of the Dneipr River and to reinforce Kherson city itself, then used HIMARS to sever the bridges for heavy logistics to the left bank. And then proceeded to use precision artillery and HIMARS strikes to destroy a staggering amount of Russian ammo caches in the region, leaving Russian troops with limited support and dwindling ammo.

Sound decision for Russia to withdraw to more defensive positions across the River, but they’ll have to abandon some equipment. And their crossing will no doubt be challenged with artillery harassment.

A massive reputation blow for Russia, to be sure. And Russian military bloggers are taking it very hard. But at least it will preserve the lives of tens of thousands of their veteran troops

I have been expecting it weeks before now. The Russians are having logistical issues. The Ukrainians have blown up the bridges. So Russia is finding it difficult to supply it troops on the other side of the river.

The Ukrainians still don't believe that Russian will withdraw. They still believe it is a trap.

It is still unclear.

Very big clowns. I remember them similarly denying the sinking of the Moskva and the Ukrainian counterattacks in Kharkiv Oblast

Years of gullibly swallowing Russian propaganda has done a number on them. Army that’s going cap in hand to solicit for weapons from Iran and North Korea.
