BREAKING. Russian Army Announces It Will Withdraw From 2,000 Square Miles of Ukrainian Territory

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has publicly directed the Russian Army to withdraw from Kherson City and all occupied territory on the right bank of the Dneiper River.

This is the rather bizarre, stage-managed conversation in which General Sergey Surovikin, commander of Army Group South of the Russian Army in Ukraine, presents his assessment to his boss and gets permission to do what he would have to do without permission.

For anyone not familiar with Ukrainian geography, the map below shows what this order means. The pink area north of the river, some 2,000 square miles, will be evacuated. The Russian Army that must be evacuated numbers about 40,000 men plus their equipment.

Wait.  They actually referred to it as "Ukrainian Territory"?
