If it's true, Azov Battalion is no more, and VZ will have to send a relief column of Uke regulars to re-take the city. If it's not true, then Odessa is not yet the main target.

If VZ had one, he would have sent it already. Maybe now that pressure’s off Kiev and unlikely overtake Lviv, he can spare a few. I don’t know. I love playing arm chair general, but it must be agony to actually have the responsibility.

I haven’t seen anything from Russian sources saying they cleared it completely.

They might have entered a bit, there is conflicting info on that. There is definitely very heavy missile and artillery fire still hitting it.

I saw a very recent video of some attempted escapees being taken prisoner:

It can’t be going well for them if they’re trying to escape.

It’s a maze of underground levels and tunnels.
