Russian military propagandists report that Russian occupying forces have left Izyum

They write about it in Telegram channels.

In particular, Daniil Bezsonov, the so-called First Deputy Minister of Information of the DPR, said that the Russian military had left Izyum and a number of other settlements in the Kharkiv region.

"Yes, they left Izyum, as well as some other settlements in the Kharkiv region. This is the result of the mistakes of the high command. But there is no need to look for hidden meanings in this. It is not a matter of negotiators or treason. We are simply fighting as we know how, at all levels. Somewhere better, somewhere worse," Bezsonov wrote.

Military propagandist Yuriy Kotenok also wrote about the fact that the Russian units had to leave Izyum and move beyond the Oskil River.  And the telegram channel Readovka writes that the withdrawal from Izyum "was the only strategically correct move, because otherwise the Russian troops risked remaining in the "cauldron".
