He has already removed its flag from buildings - as Putin sacks ANOTHER top general, Western officials say.

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 thought Putin was planning on bombing the dam near Kherson in order to commit more war crimes and murder more civilians.

He may still do that



The whole dirty bomb from Ukraine may be an excuse to bail on the whole war



Let’s hope this dying megalomaniac does just leave and say he did it to prevent Ukraine from starting a world war



That would be awesome

Western officials, speaking on condition of anonymity on Thursday, sought to clarify the situation by saying Russia is planning an 'orderly, well-planned and deliberate' retreat to the east bank of the Dnipro.

Russia's commanders have already crossed the river, they added, leaving a force of regular troops - largely conscripts - behind to face the Ukrainians.

However, they refused to say when the retreat might take place and admitted that Ukraine's advances have been 'slow going' - which will likely get even slower as wetter weather turns the ground to mud.

Losing the city of Kherson - the only regional capital that Russian forces have captured since February - would be the most-humiliating loss Putin has yet suffered.

Poor Putin. :sadbaby:
 
America has given up on cities, because they are just no longer worth keeping. Russia seems to be really losing here. They are not a superpower.
