Meanwhile in Russia the media is reporting the events in it's own way ie. "theres nothing to see here, move along". As the media in the west has its finger on the pulse, it is hard to find any news in Russian media. Just a few short mentions of "shelling of kherson" or "missile strikes in kherson" or "outstanding victory, billions of Ukrainian tanks destroyed".

Enemy losses in manpower amounted to more than 560 servicemen. Consider a full-fledged battalion. "Another attempt at offensive actions by the enemy failed miserably," our defense department concluded.

Air defense worked well, ”he told RIA Novosti .
But this article is the most telling of them all: since this has been written this morning and the emphasis is so strong that nothing is happening there, the Russians on Kherson are are probably about to collapse. And who's the one saying so? the same a**hole who has fled the area (see ORAC's post #8649 )
