Looking at the Google Russo-Ukrainian war map, I see some very important developments happening

that I don't see being reported by MSM

- On the eastern front, the Lyman encirclement of Russian troops is almost complete. The only rout of escape (towns of Torske and Zarichne) just became the front line as i was typing this. There are estimated 3000 Russian troops in the Lyman pocket, and they are screwed: none of them can escape now.

-Also on the Eastern front, the front line has crossed into Luhansk Oblast in several locations. This is a big effing deal because Russia has been claiming complete control of the Luhansk Oblast. Not anymore!

-On the Southern front: while Ukraine's advances from the north are not as sexy as a frontal assault on Kherson City, it is slowly pushing Russian troops towards the Dnipro river. Once Russians are pushed across the river, Ukrainian defenses in the Oblast become invincible. A huge loss for the Russians.

Russian units near Kherson negotiating surrender, Ukraine says

"They are attempting to negotiate conditions of laying down arms, under the norms of international humanitarian law,” said Humeniuk.

According to her, the commanders of these Russian units are looking to find ways to abandon their positions by any means available. This could include attempting to retreat to Russian back lines, or laying down their weapons.

“The degree of creaking resolve and demoralization is so high, even the commanders now realize they don’t have anywhere to go,” Humeniuk added.

She said that enemy troops are aware of the major Ukrainian victory in Kharkiv Oblast.

As their ability to cross the Dnipro River remains severely curtailed, Russian forces on the river’s western bank are forced to look for ways to extract themselves from the area – according to the spokesperson.

These are no longer mere rumors. Humeniuk is the official spokesperson for the Ukrainian Southern Command.

Moscow Officials Urge Putin to GTFO: 'Everything Went Wrong'

More and more Russian officials are urging Vladimir Putin to get the hell out of the Kremlin as Moscow suffered another series of humiliating defeats in Ukraine this weekend.

Just one day after several municipal deputies in Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg called on the State Duma to try the Russian leader for treason, their colleagues in Moscow joined in and demanded he step down because his views are “hopelessly outdated.”

The open letter to Putin from municipal deputies in the Russian capital’s Lomonosovsky district started out by seemingly trying to let him down gently, telling him he had “good reforms” in his first term and part of his second.

But then, “everything went wrong,” the deputies said.

“The rhetoric that you and your subordinates use has been riddled with intolerance and aggression for a long time, which in the end effectively threw our country back into the Cold War era. Russia has again begun to be feared and hated, we are once again threatening the whole world with nuclear weapons,” the letter read.

“We ask you to relieve yourself of your post due to the fact that your views and your governance model are hopelessly outdated and hinder the development of Russia and its human potential,” the deputies said in closing.

The de-Putinization of Russia inside Russia may already be on its way. Here's another article pointing in the same direction:
