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.

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.

But the Neocons are doing better with the Pelosi husband false flag.

It’s after dark over there right now. The Ukrainians have only got roughly 3 days to create a Media “win” over Kherson - I think Monday would be too late.

More utter horse sht#t. You and your sources are constant source of disinformation coming straight from the Biden regime.

The Russians have fortified their position in Kherson, digging in with trenches and bringing in more troops.

Civilians are being evacuated because evacuated because the Russians are going to defend the region.

When Russia obliterates the buildings and infrastructure of Ukraine, Western media sources will broadcast pre-war videos of a bustling and vibrant Kiev with happy people filling the streets.

That is how ridiculous the pro-Ukrainian propaganda has become.

The West cannot show the truth because they are all in for Ukraine and will NOT show a devastated Ukraine. The West has destroyed their own economies and brought hundreds of thousands of protestors into the streets over the stupidity of their suicidal sanctions against Russia.

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

The truth would cause “regime change” in ALL the reckless Western countries when the people realize the massive lies their leaders have perpetrated.

Ukraine has become an entire Potemkin country - a fake country that is a giant movie set.

Even Mercouris noted this in a vid from yesterday or day before that he regularly does daily.

But hey, the Western/US/UK/EU/NATO propaganda ridden media just discovered that the Russians have internet access....

Since this 3 day war is now in its 9th month and the Russians keep losing ground, I believe the world is more likely seeing the Russian military of 2021 as a Potemkin military.

Are Russkies still going with that lie? I haven't seen them say it for awhile, and the IAEA inspected Ukrainian positions and confirmed there is no evidence of any preparation to use a dirty bomb.

Russians will gladly give up ground knowing they can retake it just to continue the process of destroying Ukrainian manpower and military hardware Ukraine can NOT afford to lose.

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

Please cite this "disinformation". It seems every prediction so far of Russian mass retreats has come true. Russia has been in retreat with Ukrainians attacking since July, with the Russkies having almost no advancement anywhere.

Right now there are videos of Ukrainians filming empty checkpoints in Kherson. There are videos of Russian soldiers looting the art museums and destroying infrastructure as they apparently leave. Something is obviously going on. Either they're giving up half the city or the entire thing in the very near future.

That's the ticket, vatnik. The Russians victoriously retreat while the Ukrainians advance in panic. Bagdad Bob would be proud.
