It doesn't seem too orderly considering they are leaving a lot of equipment behind. Lots of videos of intact bunkers, leaving food, clothing and equipment behind.
An orderly withdrawal would have at least scuttled equipment and boobytrapped the trenches.
It doesn't even seem like they are retreating to a specific point.
Big question here is how orderly the retreat is, if its a disorderly collapse, they're going to leave a lot of heavy kit behind that will be hard to replace, if its orderly they can abandon munitions but then resupply and try push back at a later point
The withdrawal from Kharkiv is "a gesture of good will" from Russia prior to engaging in peace talks. Statement is heavily laced with sarcasm. Russians are furious right now.
putrid imprisons and kills his enemies. That doesn't make them good or bad, they are just people who he see's as a threat for various reasons. It's another, of so many, example of how the West doesn't listen to others. It's as if there's Western Europe, some inconvenient countries, then russia. Two of those three sides have talked over the other side for decades and here we are, deaf to their knowledge. I don't believe navalny is any saviour.
Lads there's no way there was 10k troops there. A few thousand at best. I'd say that number came from earlier in the war when Russia was putting everything into the Donbass. Back when they pushed Ukraine out of Lyman etc and across the river. There was probably 10k then. But since many have been killed or relocated to the defence of Kherson.
HIMARS attack
A conflicting report says that the fight is not yet over.
The latest Rybar map, with Izyum shown as fallen.
I've been saying it for months - if they want to be Russian they should go back to where they came from
More confirmation from Girkin himself and suggests that a large amount of toys have been left behind,
Incredible how quickly that front has collapsed. Losing Izium is horrific from a strategic point of view.
Russians now reporting that Lyman has been abandoned.
Air raid sirens going off in Kharkiv again. Russia is great at attacking civilians but no good if it's a military they are facing. The sooner they are utterly militarily defeated the better for all.
Completely inconceivable. Going by the speed of the advance, there aren't even 10k troops in the north east region, let alone a single city.
Granted buts its not inconceivable, the Russians poured resources into taking it for 2 months for a reason, to use its rail network to get supplies there from Belgograd for an attack on Donetsk Oblast. As the most important rail junction in the area its important. The area arround it has collapsed in recent days and 10,000 is 8% of the original invasion force. As a supply hub for basically the entire area in the North 8% of the total force in Ukraine being in the area does not seem unreasonable.
Nalvany is a bad guy now ?
Am finding Twitter much more difficult as of late trying to wade through trustworthy sources with dodge ones.
In a way mr putrid could be better for the West than navalny. putrid is a thief so we see what he's done to his country, hollowed it out. However, if another ultra nationalist who was honest came to power...
Edit to avoid confusion, putrid should be hung from the nearest lamp post.
It's a made up number that someone probably plucked from Twitter.
Yeah, right, and when the last ruzzkie leaves Ukraine, they will claim that denazication operation was successful and there was no point keeping the troops there.
The Russians who withdrew from the 2,000 sq kilometers recaptured over the last 2 days went somewhere and probably to the nearest area with a command structure or area with supplies, logically the would seem to be Izium. 10,000 might be conceivable.
Russian news are starting to shape the propaganda effort already. People being told not to panic, Izyum was not important.
**** sake, talk about timing.
The world needs to know the support for Ukraine is working
10k russian soldiers in Izium? Sounds a bit unrealistic, when the population of Izium is 45k. If 50k dead, 50k+ injured, 10k in Izium, how many of them are in Kherson, Mariupol, Melitopol, Donetsk, Luhansk, etc
Russians don't think that the east side of the city will be held either. Rybar says to expect more bad news.
It's a huge collapse and the cause is clear, that manpower doesn't exist in this area to stage some sort of defensive rear guard action.
The city has been surrendered, their forces are trying to withdraw.
FFS came down to watch some news and it's all about the pensioner who popped her clogs over the water.
The biggest land battle and victory since WW2 and there's fuk all about it on the news!
Withdrawing is not the same as surrendering. Not surprising they are being shelled.
This really is great progress.
Doesn't look like they've made it to the rail hub or the eastern side across the river so not completely liberated. But all the same, my God. The Russian collapse has been indictive of their country's image. All deception, trickery, smoke and mirrors. A paper tiger on a monumental scale.
Russians have said that the city of Izyum has surrendered. Russian units are trying to withdraw in the last corridor that's open to them but are being shelled.
