A drawing released on November 13 2022 shows a tank-like figure with a Russian flag stuck in thick mud next to a blue sign reading Kherson. The figure has tank tracks running along its body and a large boot kicking backward through the dirt. A Ukrainian flag is visible on a building to the left of the scene.

The image addresses the Russian military decision to withdraw from the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson. Russian officials had announced the pullback days earlier citing the need to regroup forces. Ukrainian troops moved into parts of the city following the departure of Russian units.

The drawing uses the mud and the stuck position to illustrate challenges faced during the retreat. Reports from the period noted that Russian forces encountered supply problems and difficult terrain while leaving the area. The composition places the Kherson sign prominently to tie the visual directly to the location of the withdrawal.

Broader coverage at the time described the move as a significant reversal for Russian operations in southern Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities confirmed advances into the city center after Russian troops crossed the Dnipro River. The image captures the moment of departure through its focus on the mired vehicle and the nearby flag.
