⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦👁 Opinion: On the announced Russian #Dnipro Bridgehead Retreat⚡️

〽️ This is the third heavy defeat of the Russian Federation after #Kiev and #Kharkov (#Belakleya).

▪️ While #Kiev only damaged the reputation, after #Kharkov citizens with new Russian passports (the region was in the process of integration to Russian Federation) lost their belongings and surprised ones left behind were exposed to the purges of Ukrainian death squads. For #Kherson, on the other hand, evacuations were carried out in time in accordance with international law, as lessons were apparently learned from the #Kharkov mistakes. But with the Kherson withdrawal, #Russia is losing territory to #Ukraine.

▪️ I will not deny that the withdrawal is in line with military needs and Kadyrov and others were also involved in announcing the decision. From (most?) Russian reporters close to the state, it is signalled approval, as expected.

On the other hand, the difficult supply situation in the bridgehead region has not existed for only about two weeks. It was clear to anyone with a modicum of military understanding that the damage to the Crimean Bridge and the constant attacks on Antonovsky Bridge at #Kerson and other bridges in the region would not remain without consequences.

▪️ For many weeks, experts, @Rybar, Russian bloggers, Telegram Channels, circles in state television and journalists etc. have been calling for a tougher approach to the conflict (so have I).

▪️ Destruction of dams and attacks on power plants (even Nuclear) was started on the part of #Ukraine attacks. Has #Ukraine ever been seriously criticised for this by its Western patrons and their media? The same applies to #Ukraine's permanent warfare in violation of international law. Does #Russia believe that it will somehow be rewarded for noble warfare by the West?

▪️ The current situation. There are midterm elections in the USA, winter is coming, the situation in the unfriendly and hostile states is worsening and recently one has increasingly heard the word negotiations. And yesterday the Russian Foreign Ministry announced its willingness to negotiate, taking into account the current situation?

▪️ A PR performance could not be worse. A war is not only won on the battlefield. In the media age, public opinion is more important than ever, because #Ukraine is 100% on the drip of Western taxpayers. And now weakness is signalled so that the enemy's propaganda gets a boost again?

▪️ Back to noble warfare. The blows to #Ukraine's energy system have been half-hearted at best. We must be clear about this, #Ukraine still has power and is repairing everything rapidly.

▪️ One usually measures the success of an operation by the objectives set. But after almost 11 months, all the objectives of the "Special Military Operation" are more distant than ever. On the other hand, much further suffering has (inevitably) been caused worldwide.

▪️ The Russian leadership must realise that the conflict must end. Either you lose out in negotiations or you force the other side to accept your terms in negotiations.

💡 The Ukrainian energy system lends itself to forcing the other side to give in. The other side does not need a de-energised #Ukraine, if only because of the wave of refugees it fears.

🩸 After the loss of the Battle of #Kherson, #Russia must now act with all its might, just as the other side is doing, although the energy war was ultimately started by #Ukraine and is therefore excusable.
