"Nowhere to be seen in any of this was the man whose foolhardy ambition caused the mess : Vladimir Putin." "Putin makes top brass take the fall for Kherson humiliation" https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/11/10/putin-makes-top-brass-take-fall-kherson-humiliation-no-accident/?WT.mc_id=e_DM61286&WT.tsrc=email&etype=Edi_Edi_New_Reg&utmsource=email&utm_medium=Edi_Edi_New_Reg20221110&utm_campaign=DM61286 More: "It would have been impossible for a man of Putin’s vanity to bear the bad news to his people, given it was only weeks ago he announced that Kherson had become part of Russia in a gaudy Kremlin ceremony. #" "He had joined hands on stage with the four men appointed to lead the annexed regions of Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Luhansk and Kherson, leading them in a boisterous chant." "One of those men, Kherson chief Kirill Stremousov, died in mysterious circumstances on Wednesday." "Meanwhile, when Putin was seen on television that same day, he was touring a hospital, basking in the approval of doctors who told him they had everything they needed." "Some commentators have suggested that the generals’ order of a withdrawal is a trap; inviting Ukraine to rush ahead incautiously, in an attempt to reclaim the city before winter."
