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.

Vatnik, if you're going to post Pro-Communist material on the website, you should also defend it too. You refuse because you don't have the balls for it.

This is incomprehensible gibberish. Are you saying Russia released the evidence to the UN but not to the public? And that's why you can't provide any such evidence?

Anyway no dirty bomb false flag for Ukraine, sorry.

Pretty convenient that you get to harp about dirty bomb false flag BS on this website, and when it becomes clear it won't happen, you get to take credit for the BS not happening without having ever proved said BS to begin with!

What a cute little system you guys have setup. Like a big gay circle jerk.

Good news, then. We won’t have to give that extra $50 billion to Zelensky? We won’t need to be shamed into a UKR Marshall Plan I have to pay for?

There are actually some on this thread that suggest Biden is hoping for a Ukraine capture of Kherson by Tuesday. That is so voters will naively overlook inflation, energy prices, a broken border, CRT, school disasters, crime, Afghanistan, etc.

SERIOUSLY?????

These are total idiots and more addle-brained that he is.

Are you sure you was a NATO warrior under Reagan? What is your plan for fighting a “million men army” with a limited force of 160k when the objective is to keep the collateral damage at minimum?

More nonsense. When the Russians have "retreated", they have temporarily let Ukraine takeback ghost towns and rural areas of no strategic importance and slaughtered thousands of Ukrainian troops.

The Russian war strategy is ALWAYS to destroy the other side's army.

But, Russian Derangement Syndrome scrambles one's brains as much as John Fetterman's.

Same comment as the pro-P thread.

“Not any more credible than the breathless pro-Z propaganda.

“Pippin: And whose side are you on?
Treebeard: Side? I am on nobody’s side, because nobody is on my side...”

For better or worse, Alex Jones was right about this being an Info War. Even finding out WTF is happening is a major undertaking.”

Kherson is not a ghost town or rural area.

And I’m glad you know all about the Russian strategy, because you’re really Fing it up. Keep up the good work!

LOL!

You sound like you believe that the 2020 "election" was the Fairest And Freeist Election Evuh!

It's ALL about The Narrative.

After the vote-rigging, The Narrative is used to "explain" the startling "results".

See the US Senate races in Missouri and Indiana in 2012.
