Putin sacks ANOTHER top general, Western officials say Russia is in advanced stages of planning retreat from Kherson, officials believe 'Reinforcements' are actually conscripts designed to cover the retreat, they said If retreat happens, Russia will try to play it off as 'evacuation' to protect civilians Meanwhile Russian General Lapin has 'probably' been sacked, officials added

Russia is planning to retreat from the city of Kherson and play it off as a civilian evacuation, Western officials said today.

Putin's troops are in the advanced stages of preparing for the retreat, the officials said, having moved conscripts into the city to cover the backs of the fleeing soldiers and beefed up defences on the other side of the Dnipro River.

While no final call has been made, officials believe Russian commanders have decided that Kherson 'is not worth defending' and that fleeing to better positions across the Dnipro will improve their chances of holding on as winter falls.

They spoke as footage emerged from Kherson showing a Russian flag that has been flying over city hall for months has suddenly disappeared.

Meanwhile Colonel-General Alexander Lapin, head of Russia's central military district now thought to be responsible for defences in Donbas, has 'probably' been sacked.

With the globalist control over the narratives it is perfectly irrelevant. I think it is a possibility between Midterms and G20.

That planned calm series of constant withdrawals could not have included turning over so much critical and deadly armor, transportation, and ammunition to the forces overrunning them.

It’s called, drag in and destroy and been working effectively for about 4-5 months now......

You'd have to be a Ukrainian or a neocon not to figure out the scheme - centuries after Clausewitz first wrote about it.

Putin has already done that with a number of his Generals ... if that was the answer, the results would be showing already

maybe the problem isn't with the Generals ...

Manpower and military hardware Ukraine can NOT afford to lose.

Say it to yourself.
Repeat it.

Biden demanded Kherson city proper taken by Midterms, next Tuesday, get busy.

Chop. Chop.

Russia had the goods

By "goods" you must mean evidence. You should post this evidence as no one has actually seen any such evidence before from Mordor--err, I mean, Russia.

Only Teenage Zoomer Communists who constantly link to websites promoting even the DPRK are fit to comment about war strategy.

Each one of your pimples contains more military wisdom than any of us have in our entire bodies. It's a tragedy every time you pop a zit.

Your continued use of ‘vatnik’ only reveals more about yourself than it does me.

Please keep sending Ukrainian cannon fodder to their deaths cause I heard and read that it is getting really difficult for the neo-Nazi idiots in Kyiv to round up more cannon fodder on streets.

‘Captured Ukrainian Squad Leader on Russian artillery & Kiev’s failed Kherson offensive’

“Bring a friend and get 20 thousand hryvnia.”

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine continues to look for ways out of the acute shortage of recruits, now offering to actually sell friends for the needs of the front.The Ukrainian authorities are giving a reward of 20,000 hryvnia if someone brings a “friend” to the front.”

The people of these countries are suffering mightily from this deceit.

Funny how the Ukrainians got tricked into thinking Russia had invaded.

Can't they see that the attacks on civilian targets and destruction of their cities by Putin is just a Western media creation?

I think Russia preemted the Neocon nuclear dirty bomb plan. Russia had the goods on them and showed it to the rest of the world...so it wasn’t going to work.

I’m familiar with leftist and Ron Paul bullshit on the middle east.

But what are the lies told about “North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Gautamala,” etc?

Inquiring minds want to know.
