Russia's Immediate Backtrack on Kherson 'Regrouping' Raises Questions
Newsweek ^ | 11/13/2023 | Isabel van Brugen

Russia immediately backtracked on a statement released on Monday that said some of its troops had withdrawn from a key position in Ukraine's southern Kherson region, raising questions about the scale of Moscow's operations in the area.

The Russian Ministry of Defense dismissed its own statements about the "regrouping" of the Dnieper Group of Forces published by state-run news agencies Tass and RIA Novosti as a "provocation", without elaboratinThe term "regrouping" has previously been used by the Kremlin in Russian President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine to describe a battlefield retreat by its forces.

Ukraine has been gradually expanding a bridgehead on the Russian-controlled bank of the Dnieper River in Kherson, amid its counteroffensive to recapture its occupied territories.

The ministry was quoted on Monday as saying that the command of the Dnieper Group of Forces decided to transfer troops to more advantageous positions east of the Russian-occupied east bank of the Kherson Oblast. After the regrouping, the military group "will release part of the forces that will be used for an offensive in other directions."

After the Ukrainian government, on order of the U.S., failed to make peace with Russia, the Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to 'de-militarize and de-nazify' the Ukraine. It then was obvious that the attrition of the Ukrainian army, not taking its land, was the main Russian plan.

The Ukrainian political and military command failed to correctly adopt to that. Instead of going into defense mode behind holdable lines it ordered its troops to attack Russian defense lines again and again. In consequence Russian losses were minimal while the Ukrainian losses exceeded all imaginations.

That this would end badly was quite predictable.

It is over. The Ukraine, and the powers behind it, have lost the war.

The Russian forces are now doing probing attacks along the whole frontline. Whenever a local Ukrainian local defense line will fail, which is just a question of time, they will break through and cover new grounds. Those drops leaking through will become a stream, then a river and a flood that will push the Ukrainian army into a full retreat.

The Uke marines trying to cross the Dnieper and establish a bridgehead are being shredded by FABs and barbecued by Russian TOS 1-A thermobaric weapons…I would guess they would not want their own troops in close combat in a killing zone

When Ukraine starts using the M57 Block IA Unitary version of the ATACMS missile system it will put all of Crimea in range of attack and Crimea will be untenable for Russia.

Death is coming for Russia.

So you morons announced the war is over for Ukraine because Russia announced it was going to do a major withdrawal.

Sure keep chanting the same slogans even when facts are the opposite.

Why is it so important to you that Ukraine lose? It’s not The Ukraine, it’s Ukraine.
