Russia asks for 'green corridor' to evacuate encircled troops north of Kherson
| If you don’t trust U.S. intelligence (which could be true for a number of reasons), then how about Canadian intelligence or U.K. intelligence, both of whom agree Russia is “running out of steam.”
At this point photographically verified data shows Russia has lost over 4,750 vehicles. That includes 873 tanks. Those tanks now range from a T-62 manufactured somewhere in the mid 1960s, to a pair of T-90M tanks that were manufactured after 2016.
| Today 60% of Russia's entire force in Ukraine is now located in the Kherson area in fear of a Ukrainian assault. An estimated 25%-50% of the Russian's entire force are stranded to the west of the 0.5km wide river Dnipro with no access to logistics, support or reinforcements. Even more critically, as Ukrainian forces press in, Russia can’t get out.
| For all intents, the encirclement is effective. This is clear, because Russia has had the audacity to ask for a “green corridor” for surrounded troops. The same kind of corridor it refused to open so many times for trapped civilians. The same kind of corridor Russia has offered, then used as a convenient means of attack.
(Literally LOL)
| And Ukraine has provided a clear answer.
Ukraine refuses the enemy's request for a green corridor for thousands of soldiers to exit Kherson region. Ukraine demands their surrender of troops and equipment otherwise they will be eradicated.

| The Russian army actually asked for a green corridor because 60% of their army is encircled? It seems snowflake-kun wasn't the only one acting desperate yesterday...
| 85% is a lot. Sounds like sensationalist bullshit.

Considering you're the first one in this thread to mention the number 85%, I have to agree.
The article clearly states a different, lower, number.

Based.

Never mind, the US Defense department, the Canadian defense department and the UK defense department all said 85%. My bad.

| There’s long been an assumption that what Russia has invested in Ukraine is a significant portion of their military. It’s only recently that it’s become evidence just _how_ significant.
NEW from Senior U.S. Defense Official on the war in: Russia has committed nearly 85% of its military to the war in Ukraine… It has removed military coverage from other areas on their border and around the world.
