Russian Flag Disappears from Kherson Administration in First Signal of Potential Retreat

The Russian flag hanging in front of the regional administration in Ukraine’s occupied Kherson region has been taken down, pro-Russian Telegram channels said Thursday.

“I drove up to the building of the former government of the Kherson region; I confirm that there is no [Russian] flag over it,” pro-Kremlin war correspondent Alexander Kots said on his Telegram channel.

The Russian flag is still hanging at nearby buildings, he added.

Kherson’s Russian-installed administration has been evacuating tens of thousands of civilians to the left bank of the Dnipro River in the regional capital of the same name amid an advancing Ukrainian counteroffensive.

The flag’s removal is the first indication that the Russian military may be preparing to abandon the city of Kherson, the only regional capital that Moscow has captured in its eight-month invasion.

Kirill Stremousov, the deputy head of Kherson’s Moscow-installed administration, warned that Russian troops could move to the left bank of the Dnipro River in the coming days.

“Most likely, our units, our troops will go to the left bank part of the Kherson region,” Stremousov told Russian state television.

The thing is, Ukraine will likely take the bait and begin their Million Man March.

I believe little of what I read about this war, and trust those who say what the Russians (or Ukrainians) are GOING to do even less.

The Russians are doing better on Free Republic than they are in Ukraine.

To the Ukrainians, if you think Russians have really left, then come and take it. A simple bayonet charge should do the trick.

The Russian army ran like rats. Though I hear they left lots of mobiks behind. Mobiks are the newly mobilized by Putin.

The only use any of my relatives would have for a russian flag is to wipe their ass with it. Speaking of family...
