The Ukrainian troops are advancing in the south after the Russian's announced they were retreating from the strategic port city of Kherson. Ukraine has claimed to recapture a dozen settlements in the region so far, but they're not sure if Moscow's forces are actually withdrawing.
Ukrainian officials think that Moscow's announcement of a withdrawal from the city could be a trap to lure their forces into a brutal urban combat.

@Deadpool560 Russia ?
Payback to the Saudis?
@BugsnYogi Thanks!
@kckiper In the event of a slim GOP majority, it will be interesting to see who will be Speaker and how effective he/she is in managing this odd group into anything significative.
President Biden approved federal emergency aid to 45 counties in eastern, central and south Florida.
Ukrainian forces are slowly advancing down both side of the Inhulets river with little or no (reported) Russian resistance.
Last, best count (last night) was roughly 15 to 18 Brigade sized Russian formations and an equal number of smaller formations still in the bridge head area.
The caveat here is that most of those formations were considerably smaller than their claimed strength. Most brigades being smaller than a battalion in size, some battalions down to a single platoon.
...
The Ukrainian advances on the north side of the Inhulets river indicate that Russian troops in the northern part of the bridge head are retreating as well.
I expect a very large number of Russian prisoners and the Ukrainians capturing enough tanks and other armored vehicles to form up 2 or 3 new armored brigades of their own (after repairs).

The Christmas prediction remains in place. Everything but Crimea.
@JBro The margins are so close, it's entirely possible.
Update:
This should make things official...
Russian General Surovikin announces the beginning of the withdrawal from the entire right bank of Dnieper River.
-
They are blowing up bridges along the Inhulets river (divides the bridge head by north and south). Some of those bridges are deep behind Russian lines.
-
Fair warning: There is no possible way that they've evacuated all of those troops from the bridge head area yet.

☑️ Oregon voters approved a change to the state Constitution that will disqualify lawmakers from re-election if they have 10 unexcused absences from legislative sessions, The Associated Press reported. This change comes as a response to Republicans who have in recent years walked out of the Legislature to prevent the Democratic majority from advancing key bills.
Brittney Griner, an American basketball star who has been jailed in Russia for more than eight months, is being transferred to a penal colony, her lawyers said Wednesday. Her case has become part of a geopolitical struggle between Russia and the United States, and the Biden administration has been trying to secure a deal for her release.

A tornado threat is expected to develop this evening and persist tonight over parts of eastern Florida, according to the Storm Prediction Center. Most tornadoes produced by a hurricane happen in the right front quadrant of the storm, where the most ingredients needed for tornadoes to form occur.
