Tying The Yellow Ribbon Even More Tightly
Full Russian retreat from N Kherson looks like it’s on.
Bridges blown, flags gone, and Kiril Stremousov, their deputy puppet leader, killed this morning in a “car accident”

Were they waiting for the midterms? ;-)

I am rather worried actually. A withdrawal like this could be due to several causes. It is alien to Putin's mindset (so far as I can read it, which is probably very fallible) to show loss of 'face' in any way. Could it be a precursor to an all-out bombing campaign? To flatten and exterminate a stubborn opposer? Just a postulation - hope I'm wrong.
Not wanting to start another Ukraine topic, but it appears that President Biden earlier in a briefing confimed that the US has indeed, as many suspected, supplied Ukraine with long range ATACMS missiles with a range of up to 160 miles (but not the really long 600 mile ones)
Which seems to bolster the idea that it was such a missile that hit the Kerch bridge.

It looks like the Russians have now blown the main bridge south/east out of Kherson city. The one Ukraine was hitting for months and which had become unusable to heavy (probably any) vehicles.
It didn't look like they were even using it for pedestrians anyway.
It's thought there are still thousands of russian troops trapped to the north and west.
They are digging trenches in Crimea...

And the Ukrainian flag again flies in Kherson city!
So soon.
Put there by partisans or special forces perhaps rather than the regular army. But put there.
Locals estimate that 2-4 thousand Rosgvardiya and motorised riflemen remain in the city - maybe 4-5 thousand guards and paratroopers in Berislav, a town to the north east.
What’s interesting is they say Russians have abandoned many of the artillery posts that were set up across the river as part of the so-called new defensive line, and are heading east to occupied Melitopol or south to Crimea
