Russia is planning to retreat from Kherson and play it off as a civilian evacuation

Russia confirms withdrawal from 'city of death' after wounded left to perish

Kyiv has announced the liberation of more than a dozen towns around the city of Kherson, reclaiming some 60 square miles.

Russian forces are on the brink of collapse as Ukrainian forces advance steadily to the port city of Kherson. The progress comes within a day of Moscow's Defence Minister ordering its troops to retreat from the regional capital as fighting reached within 10 miles of city limits. Panicked Russian soldiers abandoned wounded comrades as they made their hasty retreat. Mykhailo Podolyak, a top aide to the Ukrainian president, said Russian forces had mined "everything they can" in Kherson, as well as blowing up bridges to slow Ukraine's advance. He said: “RF [Russia] wants to turn Kherson into a ‘city of death’.

The Russian military mines everything they can: apartments, and sewers. Artillery on the left bank plans to turn the city into ruins. This is what [the] ‘Russian world’ looks like: came, robbed, celebrated, killed ‘witnesses’, left ruins and left." The Kremlin was forced to confirm the humiliating withdrawal of all its troops on Friday morning.

The Russian Defence Ministry said: “At 05:00 Moscow time today, the redeployment of Russian units to the left (eastern) bank of the Dnipro River was completed. During the redeployment, not a single piece of military hardware or weaponry was left behind. All Russian service personnel were moved across, there were no losses of men, hardware or materiel of the Russian forces group.“

Putin 'has been offered surrender terms by the West' as he loses control of Kherson - and 'his cronies have reacted positively because it allows them to stay in power and avoid criminal charges'

Professor Valery Solovey, formerly at Moscow's prestigious Institute of International Relations and who claims to have connections in the Kremlin, said the surrender would see Russia give up all territory in Ukraine with the exception of Crimea, which would become a demilitarised zone and its status would not be discussed again until 2029.

In return, Putin and his cronies would avoid criminal charges over the war and be allowed to remain in power, Professor Solovey claimed.

He said the proposal had been discussed between Kyiv and its Western allies before being presented to Putin's inner circle - who had reacted positively to the idea.

Russia has been calling for a return to the negotiating table in recent days while there have been suggestions that Washington is quietly leaning on Kyiv to do the same.

General Mark Milley, head of the US general staff, said this week that a winter lull in fighting presents an 'opportunity' for talks.

President Zelensky has previously vowed never to negotiate with Russia so long as Putin remains in power.

The news emerged as Ukraine today liberated Kherson after eight months of Russian occupation, with troops greeted as heroes after the last of Putin's forces fled. Weeping locals sang, danced, hugged, kissed and chanted victory slogans as Kyiv's soldiers arrived to take back the city - with parties going on into the night.

Russia claimed it had completed the retreat across the Dnipro River without losing a single soldier, but Ukrainians painted a picture of a chaotic retreat, with soldiers ditching their uniforms or drowning while trying to escape.

Solovey said the exact terms of the deal would mean Russia giving up any claim to the rest of the Kherson region, along with Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk - including areas occupied since 2014. Crimea would remain a part of Russia but would be forced to demilitarize, with the Black Sea Fleet relocated.

A 60mile-wide demilitarized zone would be created along the borders between Belarus, Russia and Ukraine with no heavy weapons allowed inside the zone. Russia would also have to give up its military presence in the Transnistria region of Moldova, while Ukraine would pledge not to join NATO for at least seven years.

Maybe Putin will wait for the city to fill up with Zelenskies and then flatten it.
Maybe he'll just sit out the winter on the other side of the river, replenish his armaments and pick off NATO hardware from a distance.

Who knows ? Popcorn time for keyboard buglers.
 
The flag of freedom flies over Kherson: Ukrainian troops are treated to a hero's welcome as they arrive in city centre after final Russian troops fled under barrage of rocket fire

Ukraine is now in full control of the city of Kherson after Russian troops fled, military intelligence has said
Troops were given hero's welcome in main square by locals who hugged, kissed, and chanted victory slogans

Came after Kyiv's men pounded river crossings out of the city overnight with artillery amid rumours that thousands of Russian troops could be trapped - but it quickly became apparently most had already gone

Fears that Moscow could be laying a trap for Ukraine's men also appeared to be unfounded - perhaps part of a disinformation campaign to slow the advance and allow more time to withdraw.

Wishful thinking.
Maybe Putin will wait for the city to fill up with Zelenskies and then flatten it.
Maybe he'll just sit out the winter on the other side of the river, replenish his armaments and pick off NATO hardware from a distance.

You wish.
