Another "goodwill" gesture from the Russian troops can be expected in the near future.
Russians are preparing to withdraw from the remaining territories of the Kherson region, said the head of the Joint Press Center of the Ukrainian Defense Forces South, Natalia Humeniuk.
Earlier, the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that collaborators in the Kherson region had already begun to flee. They were taken to Crimea by military trucks. Only hand luggage was allowed to be taken with them. At the same time, mass desertion began among the Russian troops.
As Humeniuk explained, Russian soldiers are literally sitting on their suitcases, packing, and sending the looted property to Russia, same as was before the withdrawal from Kherson. Putin's soldiers are changing into civilian clothes stolen from local residents. According to Humeniuk, Russian are afraid of the landing of Ukrainian troops and hope to leave before the Ukrainian Forces come.
"They are busy with the engineering arrangement of the defense lines and are trying to mine areas that may be dangerous for them. They are definitely preparing for the next goodwill gesture," said Humeniuk.
According to the Ukrainian military, the Russian troops on the on the left bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson region have not received any reinforcements.
This is not even particularly good Ukrainian propaganda.
I think there are too many twists and turns in this war. I’ll believe it when I see it.
I hope the Russians do withdraw, it will save thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives
Propaganda is everywhere. I received a package from Ukraine yesterday. It was a big box, juryrigged and battered and taped and covered with stamps. About a dozen stamps on the box had an image of a Ukrainian tractor hauling a disabled Russian tank. Inside the box I found a thank you note with a discreet image of a man standing on an island, facing a battle ship at sea with his middle finger extended.
That ship was cruiser Moskva. Russia’s Black Sea fleet flagship. Ukrainians sinking it was a great morale booster and something that Russian propaganda couldn’t talk away because in the end the ship was at the bottom of the sea.
And it is complete bull…..
Just a flesh wound....send more money please...untraceable bills please...
I think it was a reference to the Snake Island story, whether true or not, which preceded the Moskva sinking.
That’s true too. It was very fitting that the ship demanding the surrender of Snake Island was that same Moskva.
I believe the Snake Island story by itself would be forgotten, but what crowned it was that Moskva was actually sunk.
Russian propaganda services tried to deny it at first calling it “just a small fire because a sailor smoked where he was not supposed to” and had Moskva not sunk then a lot of people would believe it right now.
You don’t know that.
The “news” from NATO forces is just as phony as the transgenders they are fighting for. Killing innocent Ukrainians for the rainbow flag will be accounted one of the most disgraceful and evil actions ever.
and could have started a nuclear war.
Pretty sure based on the maps provided by various people on YouTube, even the one the use the Ukrainian maps. Russia is not done.
The Russians are falling back to defend Crimea. The end is near and they know it.
Do you guys ever get tired of issuing nuclear threats on behalf of Russia? Does it disappoint you that for over a year Russia has not made good on any of your nuclear threats?
