Russia will pull back from positions that don't have good defensive cover and fortify further back in good locations in which to defend. This is a smart strategy.
Why don't you sign up for Russia? I hear they need untrained Ill equipped cannon fodder. For Putin's atrocities against civs.
The MoD tweeted: "On 26 October 2022, Saldo also claimed that Russia had removed the remains of the well-known 18th-century Russian statesman, Prince Grigory Potemkin, from his tomb in Kherson’s cathedral to east of the Dnipro.
"In the Russian national identity, Potemkin is heavily associated with the Russian conquest of Ukrainian lands in the 18th century and highlights the weight Putin almost certainly places on perceived historical justification for the invasion.
"This symbolic removal of Potemkin and the civilian exodus likely pre-empts Russian intent to expedite withdrawal from the area."
