What's your criteria for believing Twitter posts? If you agree they're true, if you dont, you're skeptical? Who's to say the replies saying the videos are old are credible? Very well could just be people like you who are upset with the results this far. Certainly a lot more videos showing grateful and celebratory citizens, yea?
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Where's the glut of casualties reflected in these reports?
Even if there are not that many people celebrating in Kherson, we have to remember Russia tried to empty the city ahead of it falling. Not to mention many may be afraid of snipers as supposedly many Russians stayed behind in civilian clothes. (SIAP)
Other than the HIMARSing and shelling of concentrations of troops?
Terrible-I didn't watch.
Yes - when are those going to show up on the daily reports
An opinion.
"The withdrawal of Russian troops from #Kherson created an opportunity for the armed forces #Ukraine to deploy used reserves in other directions. #Starobelskoye and #Zaporizhzhya will be the next target. "

"Kinburn braid! As local TG channels write, the spit is freed up to the settlement. #Геройское and this is already the Kherson region!! Waiting for confirmation."
I'd take those odds going against the Russian commanders

"Vladimir #Poutine , to calm a worried public opinion, to install in Moscow a monument to the glory of the Russian soldiers who fell in Ukraine."
Russia’s loss of Kherson signals change in Putin’s strategy
Ukraine’s step towards victory presents challenges, but demonstrates what can be done with a steady supply of western support
Maybe this is part of the total. They're hauling away dead orcs by the truckload.
Not sure how many are in a truckload. I'm guessing a few.
Ukraines high-precision strike: 2 truckloads of dead Russian soldiers removed from building
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have carried out a strike on a building where up to 500 Russian military personnel were deployed; two truckloads of Russian soldiers killed in the strike have been removed from the building.

I agree with most of that, but, I don't think the author captures the scope of just how big of a f****** deal it was for Putin to order a retreat. He cannot hide what is happening in Ukraine anymore. They are losing. And, to the point that this may give the Russians time to reconstitute their forces, well, into what? The entire system is corrupt and ineffective. By now and Spring they are going to rearm with modern weapons and train up 300,000 crack troops?Russia’s loss of Kherson signals change in Putin’s strategy

The biggest hope for Putin is weak willed Western politicians, at best, and Russian stooges at worst.
You can almost hear Lukashenko's balls shriveling.
And some of the most decisive victories in the history have resulted from feigned retreats as well. War is hell.
Heck, the British would’ve likely won the American Revolution if British sharpshooter Patrick Ferguson had shot George Washington in the back instead of waiting for him to turn around (which he never did).
