Ukrainian troops make gains in the Kherson region after Moscow ordered one of the war's biggest retreats, though Kyiv warns that fleeing Russians could still turn Kherson into a "city of death".

I laughed at the "terrorist alert" bit - so are they at the border looking for bad people, or is "terrorist alert" a Russian catch-word for "mobilizing"?

There are numerous reports claiming that there are still about 20.000 Russians in the right bank crowded and waiting for crossing. Apparently Ukraine artillery got in range and the crossings are constantly being targeted. If all is true this night might be a slaughter.

I was surprised that Russians manged to pull an organized retreat, apparently they didn't and they are crossing Dnipro in panic, and we already know how good are Russians at river crossings.

Waiting eagerly for tomorrow news.

Yeppers, here's the biggest AFU barrage of the war.

Now reload and do it again.

I think they'll first pack up and roll a few km down the front, so to avoid any counter battery fire.

Other sources claim the same.
The interesting part however is "catastrophic losses by the river"

Yeppers, here's the biggest AFU barrage of the war.

Jesus, please us.

The reports I'd read implied that more Russians had already crossed to the east bank. 20,000 troops on the west bank, with Ukrainians on 3/4 of their perimeter, spells a bunch of ugly for the Russians. Looking at that video, a Falaise Gap scenario doesn't seem unrealistic, delivered by arty rather than airpower.

Hopefully the Ukrainians can slice down the east bank quick enough to pin the targets in place.

Don't underestimate the Russians. It's all going to plan.

"I meant to do that."

How many times will we hear that?

 

[GrauGeist]

Just heard on the radio that there is a major push by Ukraine forces just west of Luhansk within the past 12 hours.

Something to keep an eye on.

Finally, looks like the time has come.

T-34 repourposed for action.



True? IDK, I just know that Rusia is like that kind of people that you don't belive anything they say and they manage to lie to you.

Getting the western part of Kherson under control may free lots of mobile Ukrainian forces for a possible eastern pincer towards or around Zaporoshya

Kudos to the T-34's engine designers that a museum piece clearly left outside to rot can still run.

News this morning is that the Russian evacuation of Kherson is complete. There are photos showing Ukrainian flags flying in the city centre.

An early Christmas present for all Ukrainians.

Job #1 needs to be to secure the dam and remove any explosive charges left by the Russians.

How the heck will Putin explain this away to the Russian people? He just annexed the place.

I think so, today I've seen the same vid in the Spanish TV news. I expect them to check those details.
