🧵Some important details on #KhersonRetreat of #Russia:
1) Russia has been withdrawing its better, regular army units for some time already. Instead, 🇷🇺was gathering newly drafted men there. As of now, they stay there. We’ll see if Russia withdraws them or leave for captivity 1/

2) Militarily, #Russia had no choice, but retreat. Bridges were destroyed, no logistic chains. But politically it’s even more serious defeat of #Russia, than military one. It was the only one regional centre, occupied after 24.02.22. 2/
3) #Russia is withdrawing from its “own territory” – that is how they trapped themselves with announcement of illegal unrecognized by anyone annexation. Dictators power is undermined, when “strong leaders” image is destroyed. Especially, on a battlefield. 3/
4) What’s next about #Kherson? We need proof, th at they retreat, firstly. Secondly, most probably, we should expect some new severe attacks on Ukraine after that. Symbolic and serious. Russia will withdraw, but will continue with huge attacks as “retaliation” for this defeat.End
