Moscow acknowledges it has pulled back from the strategic towns of Izyum and Kupyansk

Russia abandoned military strongholds in northeastern Ukraine on Saturday in an apparent rout of its front line positions, after Ukrainian forces pushed forward in a lightning advance that has left Moscow’s forces in disarray.

Russia’s defence ministry said its forces had pulled back from the strategic city of Izyum, claiming it had decided to “regroup” and transfer them south-eastwards to the Donetsk region.

The Russian retreat is one of President Vladimir Putin’s biggest setbacks since he ordered a full invasion of Ukraine on February 24, and could prove a turning point, involving the capture of thousands of Russian soldiers and their equipment.

“Since the beginning of September, about 2,000 [square] km of our territory have been freed,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s president, said in his daily evening video address to the nation.

“The Russian army is showing its best — showing its back . . . it is a good choice for them to run away. There is no place for the occupiers in Ukraine and there will be no place,” Zelenskyy said.

In an apparent bid to encourage more Russian soldiers to surrender, Zelenskyy promised that Ukraine would “guarantee” Russian soldiers who surrender fair treatment “in accordance with the Geneva Conventions”.

Videos posted on social media show bedraggled Russian troops who had abandoned their vehicles and positions in a hurry, leaving equipment and food behind. Locals cheered Ukrainian forces as they advanced through liberated villages.

“The world earlier didn’t think that the Russians could be beaten . . . Today the world has seen that it’s proven that the Russians can and should be beaten. We are doing that and will do that,” Oleksii Reznikov, Ukraine’s defence minister, said on Saturday during the Yalta European Strategy conference in Kyiv.

In comments to the Financial Times, Reznikov described the rapid counteroffensive that had taken Russian soldiers by surprise and led many to flee as being like a “snowball rolling down the hill, getting bigger and bigger.”

What is the name of the cheap weed you smoke

Usually western media pattern, paint Russia as weak and already decimated!! Meanwhile Russia withdrew from kupyansk to avoid encirclement, something Ukrainians do not have knowledge of and they died like chickens!! Izyum isn’t lost yet.. stop spreading lies!! And your Ukraine has even confirmed the numerous fake news about losses of the Russian holds and fear a Russia counter offensive!!

Ukraine has lost thousands in trying to take places they’d still loose within days or weeks!! We’d see

It took the Russians month to take some of the town's they are losing in days.
