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.

It doesn’t look like her to me. I guess that was the last season maybe she is older there.

I believe that was the episode where Marcia was giving Jan the business over her imaginary “boyfriend” George Glass.

@ChuckPfarrer

"NO WAY OUT: @NOELreports that RU troops have deliberately destroyed small craft and boats at marinas and docks in the city of Kherson. These boats were likely scuttled to prevent Russian soldiers from stealing them and deserting across the Dnipro river."

Perhaps the Russians want to leave a bunch of mobniks behind on the Kherson, as a speed bump. I guess they will have to surrender, if they can't flee. It is getting too cold to swim.

The fog of war is so thick—all we have is slanted views of what is happening. There is no truth! Time will tell. Like Baghdad Bob—you can talk until your blue in the face but that will not stop tanks. We shall know when A) Crimea falls to Ukraine/ UK-USA forces or B) Kiev falls to Russian-Belorussian forces. The end game is on now but the war will continue.

How's your Covid vaccination Narrative going these days, BooBoo?

I've been seeing signs of implosions in that particular administration propaganda push...

That is good news.

If we have to play make-believe with Putin that he is just “re-organizing” troops right back to Crimea and to the DPR-LPR, then let’s play along

I believe the clip is from one of the remake movies. Not Maureen McCormick.

Um, Russia is fine with pandering to Turkey so long as it follows through on being a gas hub to Europe.

Once again, Russian Derangement Syndrome has scrambled your brain as badly as a stroke has scrambled John Fetterman's brain.

The psychos the ones running this war in the Biden regime and Zelensky for agreeing to be their puppet.

But, those sane here know you and neocon buddies are one with the Biden regime, WEF and George Soros.

I did and the Russians WILL take the entire Black Sea coastline and everything east of the Dnieper river unless Ukraine surrenders.

Russia is completely control of the air space. Ukraine doesn't have an adequate air defense and its energy grid is failing. It doesn't take much to figure out that Ukraine only lose territory, not gain any back as the war concludes.

I think on the plus side that the neocons are actually having to sell this war, instead of just waltzing in like it's a done deal, ala Iraq and Afghanistan.

You misspelled "occupied".

"Visual confirmation that Mala Seidemynukha has been occupied by Ukrainian forces."

Russia’s HIV infected soldiers are victorious even in headlong retreat. LOL.

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

Funny, it looks more like “run away...run away” has been working effectively.
