Hate to piss in your Wheaties, but Russia moved its troops elsewhere for a different operation so this is hollow victory as Russia basically did what needed to be done and left the aftermath to Zelensky to clean up.
Hence, the power station attacks.
Apparently, the now-immobile equipment and troops had a rough go of it while cooling their heels on the line...
It seems that just 2/3rds maybe of the Izyum front troops made it out, but without their heavy weapons. Their withdrawing columns have been filmed with drone video, consisting of nothing but trucks. I suspect that there was an agreement to let them leave without harassment, on the condition that they left behind their weapons, which they seems to have done.
ha ha ha -- is that the latest lie from the Kremlin mill?
The Russian media itself is saying "regrouping", while we see the Ukrainians making gains in Kherson
