Russians ‘flee’ Kherson: Putin loyalists, officials and collaborators are among thousands evacuating city as advancing Ukrainian troops close in, claims resident - after dictator unleashed missile blitz on power stations

Russian officers and collaborators are evacuating Kherson under the guise of a 'civilian evacuation' as the Ukrainian army approaches, one resident has said.

The Ukrainian army has set its sights on liberating Kherson, the second largest city in Ukraine, from Vladimir Putin's forces.

Russia has declared a civilian evacuation to funnel residents into Russia, but civilians living there say they aren't the ones being evacuated.

'Mostly it's families of Russian officers, families of Russian officials and collaborators who helped to organise the referendum,' said a local Kherson-based activist and organiser, speaking to Sky News on condition of anonymity.

Roughly a thousand people are fleeing a day, but made up mostly of either Russians or those who aided the Russian advance in the early weeks of the war when Putin's troops captured the city on March 2.

'Due to the tense situation at the front, the increased danger of massive shelling of the city and the threat of terrorist attacks, all civilians must immediately leave the city and cross to the (east) bank of the Dnipro!' occupation authorities posted on Telegram.

Ukraine's military said it was making gains as its forces moved south through the region, taking over at least two villages it said Russian troops had abandoned.

Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said on Telegram: 'Kherson region! Just a little bit more. Hang in there. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are at work.'

Officials in a swath of regions on Saturday reported strikes on energy facilities and power outages as engineers scrambled to restore the network. Governors advised residents to stock up on water.

Presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak said Moscow wanted to create a new wave of refugees into Europe with the strikes, while Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Twitter the attacks constituted genocide.

“”The PFM-1(S) mines can be destroyed by mechanical or explosive means; they cannot be disarmed. The mines are generally moved using a scoop that is at least 3 meters long... Wikipedia.
Yo keep up the good work!””

You used Wikipedia as your source on the mine but left out what Wikipedia said about who was deploying the mines.

“The PFM-1 mines were deployed by Russian forces in Mariupol,[19] Kharkiv,[20] Donetsk and Kramatorsk[21] during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.”

“Price of admission stands.”

Well, since YOU were asked about your DD-214 long before you tried to avoid the question by changing the parties, I’d say it is YOU who have the obligation to answer the question(s) posed to you.

Your failure to do so is confirmation that you are a fraud and a liar, and a stolen valor scumbag, on top of it. In which case you are an insult to every US military veteran, alive and dead.

So, what will it be, Sparky?

There is running competition for all of you ZNutZ to see who is the dumbest of the dumb. Every time you do the DD214 stunt you move up the ladder. How dumb can you be? Tune in tomorrow.

“Hey yo, I noticed in your ‘about’ page, there is no link to your DD-214.”

Why would I have a link to my DD-214? We didn’t ask you for a link to you alleged DD-214; we just asked you questions ABOUT it; and you had no idea what we were even talking about.

So, hold your DD-214 in your hand and answer our questions. We didn’t ask for your SSN; we didn’t ask for your address. What are you hiding?

He’s claiming heroics. He said he retired from the USAF after only 15 years. Some of us had some questions for him from his DD-214. He didn’t even know what a DD-214 was. We didn’t ask to SEE his DD-214; we didn’t ask him to post it on-line.

It’s not a stunt. Or, perhaps you are perfectly okay with stolen valor. I’m not. Nor are many veterans.

Wanting Ukraine to be successful in what amounts to an existential threat from a larger and stronger neighbor who invaded it without a valid reason that is accepted by anyone, does NOT equate to being a “ZNutZ.” Who the Ukrainian president is, is immaterial. The president of Ukraine could be an old shoe, and it would make no difference to most of us who want to see Ukraine prevail.

It’s impossible to make sense of stuff like that. They believe everything is some gay conspiracy (plus neocons - shorthand for the Joos). They’ll say you are part of the “globohomo” conspiracy, etc. I have a visceral negative reaction to whatever the latest perverse thing is, but I don’t imagine “globohomos” behind every tree. Putin isn’t a Christian because he is more like a 20th century communist (only he allows an official church as long as it supports him) than a modern “woke” leftist.

Of course it is a stunt. You clowns have attempted to use the same tactic with me more than once. I've seen it attempted on other known Veterans. You aren't a super sleuth on the internet. You will never prove 'valor' stolen or not. This is just one of the many things they taught you in clown school, obsession.

Back in the 80s someone handed me a “populist” tabloid.

“The Spotlight” by chance?

Yeah the spotlight anti-semites are now obsessed with “globohomos” and “neocons” (jews)

It would so nice to get some reliable info about what is really happening over there but you cannot trust any of it.

If you compare what the Daily Mail and other British media publish with what everyone, including the Russians, agrees is true the British media are more often than not shown to be correct.

There is more reliable information about this war than just about any preceding war. You can watch videos and see pictures, look at satellite images, and read the Telegram and Twitter posts of participants in the fighting.

The Russians really must be fleeing from Kherson, cranked is back to posting the Russian talking point "All Ukrainians are Nazis, even the Jewish Ukrainians"

What's up with your Russian friend Putin and his Nazi pal?

That’s it! Spotlight. Yeah, when people rant about conspiracies and “neocons,” you pretty much know where that comes from.
