Moscow has abandoned its main bastion in northeastern Ukraine, in a sudden collapse of one of the war’s principal front lines after Ukrainian forces made a rapid advance.
The swift fall of Izyum in Kharkiv province on Saturday was Moscow’s worst defeat since its troops were forced back from the capital Kyiv in March.
Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo reports from Kyiv, Ukraine.

We need to see rusians crying and screaming as they die to help ease our worries
When you’ve stopped advancing due to lack of ammo… to say now that you’re retreating with all that ammo and vehicules abandoned… Who on Earth is gonna belive you?
La victoria y la paz sea para el valiente y glorioso pueblo ucraniano!!!
El ejército Soviético sufrió una pesadilla en Afganistán. Ahora Rusia sufrirá otra pesadilla.
este situacion va a seguir por decadas ya casi tiene diez anos, dentro de unos meses los ucranios van a estar rogando por mas armas , lo unico manera que va a terminar con victoria es si usan armas nucleares
So Ukraine is happy retaking these towns? Lol. Did they forget these towns were actually under them just 6 months ago and it is actually their mistake that these went under occupation of Russia? When you get into a car accident due to reckless driving and come out surviving it by a miracle, you have to realise why were you reckless in the first place?
Also, great strategy by Russia. Keep Ukrainian forces occupied in retaking small towns while they do actually what they came to do.
your beat accepted it and by the way Ukraine had no weapons at the start of this war
@Junaid P Digital why would western alliance attempt to challenge Russia? Over Ukraine? Ukraine is not in NATO nor EU. This doesn’t make sense. But yeah, Keep making up stories. Russia made Fool out of themselves.
No, Russia was a reckless driver and Ukraine was a pedestrian who trusted the Russian to follow traffic rules.
Mexico sends tamales to the racist Ukrainians
God will protect Ukraine military and allies .
Apparently not everyone.
It could be over way sooner that we expected one week ago… Russians fatal error, it won’t be over for them, sanctions will remain due to major criminal behavior. Bombing civilians, Deportations, executions, torture of many Ukrainians. They will be charged for all that. Their energy blackmail won’t work.
Make Russia pay for the rebuild.
Slava Ukraine!!!
Moscow prefer to save people lives!
It doesn’t mean anything in particular
Nobody belives is this western propaganda…its not true, and doesnt have any positive result…
Well done Ukraine
Oh what i would give to see the look on putins face as this was unfolding!
Putin has only himself to blame. He kept insisting Russia didn’t lose anything significant . He didn’t acknowledge the deaths of his soldiers. A total lack of respect for his own soldiers. Why would you fight for such a person in a foreign country?
Some of them have no choice others are just stupid
NO MERCY HIT HARDER AND HARDER ILLIMINATE ALL EVIL TERRORIES INVADER IN UKRAINE TERRITORY,,,GOD BLESS UKRAINE ARMY….
They don’t need loans to rebuild, they need reparations.
I was hearing for days that the Ukrainian military has accumulated vast amounts of armoured vehicles for an offensive in the Karkiv underground complexes , how could it be a surprise for the Russians if I knew about it just looking online in Australia, incredibly incompetent, how can the Russian minister of Defence not have a military background this series of events indicated that an expert is needed to coordinate the Russian military.
Where were you hearing this?
You must have mixed up Kharkiv (in the north) and Kherson (in the south). Ukraine has been saying for a couple of months that it is preparing a counterattack on Kherson.
Would you want to be the one delivering bad news up the chain of command in Russia, plenty of open hospital windows there I hear. But in all seriousness this is mostly why, the Russian army doesn’t make fluid decisions on the ground, instead waiting on orders from HQ. So it is slow to react, especially when people are scared to deliver bad news up the chain of command for fear of repercussions due to scapegoating.
Glory to God and Ukraine 🙏🙏🙏
Remember those 10,000 Chechen fighters who were marching to Ukraine? Theyre all Dead now. Turns out they were also 3rd rate militia. All looks
Brave Ukraine! ✌️
There shall be no peace for two winters😎

People should realise that this war is not occurring between Russia and Ukraine this war is happening with NATO America and Russia on Ukraine soil.. Although at one time Russia is fighting with many different superpower countries and fighting against their super weapons 💯💯… So there is nothing to regret on this action… Although they are also getting wounded and causing huge losses on opposite side 💯💯
Ukraine is Great Country and Culture! Russia must be destroy as satanic state!
Glory to Ukraine

The Russians’ strongest ally: Winter Is Coming!
It’s coming for the Russian forces isolated, with their supply lines cut, as well you know.
It is obvious that the Russian generals were bought by NATO
Putin must resign after losing Kupyansk
😂😂😂😂😂how can you claim they fled when they left it because its no longer strategic
What is another word for ”leaving so hastily you don’t have time to bring your equipment and weapons because you are at a strategic disadvantage”?
Where are all the Putin fanboys and bootlickers now.
When Z becomes L
Ukrainians have self-help spirit, indomitable courage and endurance fighting for Sovereignty, Dignity and Freedom. God loves and supports Ukrainians who help themselves.
the bible says god will rule the earth and armageddon will remove all governments Daniel 2.44
And what about Kherson offensive now?😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 After 10 days a total fiasco 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂🤣😂
Maybe or was it a successful diversion.🤔
More than 50percent Russia captured Russia made eu crisis 😂😂😂
US strategically regrouped in afghanistan.. is this Russia’s that kind of strategic re-grouping?
US overran Afghanistan in weeks, what are you talking about?

Operational regrouping by leaving your equipment and running?
Think Russia’s going to pay the bill for rebuilding ?
Since they left so many armaments behind, the amount they need to buy from North Korea has just gone up.
My, how the mighty have fallen….
If russia not to do brutallity war and nuclear weapon not drop on kyev and zlensky base,this war still long to be end, do alike USA attacked iraq..coz ukraine have supplied more weapon from NATO
MAY WAR BETWEEN ISLAM AND CHRISTIANS TAKE OFF SOON …..FREE THE WORLD FROM EVIL OF ISLAM …
DEATH TO ISLAM ..!!!!
Glory to ukrain wit lov from india
Even in chess, it is not always the winner who talks most and has the biggest mouth. War is also like a chess,… and it is possible Ukraine is (at least at times) better in this chess than russia. Russia makes a big mistake if they think they cannot lose a war-chess game at any time.
Key towns? Has Russians lost Kherson,Mariupol,Malitupol, Donetsk, Lysychansk,Severodonesk…? No. They retreated from a few villages.
they are key towns, not key cities.
The orcs should all go back to russia asap. Adolf Putler started this insane war and he should be held accountable for all the war crimes under his command. The same accounts for the mafia clan around him and the military officials leading the assaults against the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini!
God bless the victims and families of the cowardly attack on the US, 21 years ago.🇺🇸
Slava Ukraini ❤️🇵🇰❤️🇺🇦
🇵🇰❤️🇷🇺💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Praise God
Slava Ukraine 🇧🇩❤️
whoever thinks the russians have been “pushed back” has not understood how the russians are waging this war. so funny that people still believe the western narrative that the ukraine could somehow “win” . the losses will get worse and worse for the ukraine. there is no doubt about that
Russian Chicken Run,, Hunt all Traitors and Terrorist Devil Invaders..
Conquering another country is not an easy task, Putin thought too much, his invasion to Ukraine is a fiasco, and he is so heartless destroying other nation so many lives are spared, only because of greed
🇵🇰❤️🇷🇺
I hope Russia wins this war.
You should join them, I’m sure you’ll do great!
Well done
I wander🙍 how Russia is going to react; now that is confirmed that NATO forces are directly fighting the war against Russian forces in Ukraine👀
I see that Russian bots are still around
Ukraine will be destroyed, West will lose. Nazis will be eliminated!
Hindustan 🇮🇳 supports Russia🇷🇺
Pariah India support Russia aggression and economically support Russia. Karma will be placed upon the country when Pakistan starts aggression.
“Operational regrouping”!!! LOL More like a massive rout is underway and a major humiliation for all the supporters and backers of Russian lies and propaganda. These scum are getting what they deserve.
Russia should drop an atomic bomb like the USA terrorist did in Japan
xD Yeah that kind of stupid thinking is what got them stuck in the Ukraine!
Z
Easiest way to tell if someone is asleep when they are awake! XD
ww3 is coming
LOL you suck Russia. Not only does the world hate you but you are also weak, and soon to be even poorer
Be ready for Putins attack . if they cut power and water supply it means. putins plan to attack in the darkness .. Keep awake on putins revenge …
go ukraine get ur completely victory
Thanks God. Bless Ukrainian army.
HOHOHO WHAT A DESPERATD RUBBISH PROPAGANDA SHOW TO FOOL KIDS & DUMB PEOPLE…🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜
Where are all the bodies? Every other war before this, bodies were always shown. Now it is shells of vehicles. It just doesnt feel right.
@Gi Nattak please put link in the replies thanks.
Russia made a mistake by not targeting directly the Government of Ukraine like the Americans did in iraq.
what do you think that whole northern offense towards Kyiv was supposed to be?
Don’t stop at the border , keep going.
This war must end and Ukraine should win . 🇺🇦🇮🇳
Russian strategy…! You will be victorious Russian forces…! Heavenly force will always be with you…!
It’s the Ukrainian soldiers hiding in the woods that are a headache for Russia. Now, luring Ukrainian soldiers out of the woods into the frontal battlefield will lead to more tragic situations.
They literally lost like 2 divisions taking unknowing towns
The rout of the Russian soldiers proves that it is an untrained and ill-equipped army..they are worth nothing at all on the ground. The CHINESE should seize this unexpected weakness to enlarge their territory and seize all of Russia and its riches. THEY WOULD BECOME THE KINGS OF THE WORLD FOR CENTURIES..
“Glory to Ukraine!”, Слава Україні ! Slava Ukraini ! 🇺🇦 ♥ 🌻 🙏
Well Done
Drop nukes, Putin – let them die with smile on their faces – just like they start to believe that they can won, lol
Fake news.
Fake propaganda
Al Jazeera is a fake news channel.
Egypt manhandled al Jazeera extremely well.
All the way to moscow! Wipe the subhumans from the face of the earth
Russia’s biggest loss ever .
Cementing the Russian military is a complete joke and no where near superpower status.
The Ukrainian people are bring abused my friend 😪.
The Russians left most of thar area in the hands of militia (no match for professional Ukrainian army). Putin cannot be seen to lose so much, much worse is yet to come – it has already started via cutting electricity.
This war was not necessary and the West seems to have done whatever necessary to get their objectives met.
We knew Russian Ukrainians were being killed . We knew WMD regarding chemicals warfare labs were being put along Russian boarder etc.
What if the West simply demanded Ukraine stopped killing civilians?
What if the West asked them to not produce WMD along the Russian boarder?
What if we negotiated a demilitarised zone in Eastern Ukraine?
Without the WMD labs, atrocities in Pro Russian areas then Putin couldn’t have persuaded his people to back him.
This whole war was totally unnecessary .
The West simply wanted to use Ukraine, with the biggest and best trained army in Europe, to see how well its large army could do against Russia and to try out NATO weapons.
💪❤️🇺🇦🛐🇺🇦❤️💪
Good
Fake news that’s 1.6% from what Russia has so woptiedo wheel the need to sel you good story because it’s your tax money the invest in hopes war
