An army is destroyed when encircled and starved.
What happened is a withdrawal to free up troops to fight another day...

There is no diplomatic solution for Ukraine -
only a military one.
Winning back all the territory of Ukraine is
the only consideration the West should have.
Any other concerns come only after this first step is completed.
Any outcome that leaves Putin able to show his people
he has taken from Ukraine will be perceived as a win for Russia.

Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation's foreign reporter Morten Jentoft with photographer Mohammed Alayoubi was with the first Ukrainian forces in to Butsja and saw the dead who were strewn in the streets and are thus first-hand witnesses.
- "What we have seen is almost indescribable, some of the strongest I have experienced as a journalist", Morten Jentoft said in a news broadcasts on Sunday.
Pictures of people killed in the streets have shocked and are condemned all over the world. Ukraine also claims that hundreds of people have been found dead in a mass grave and has requested a meeting of the UN Security Council on Tuesday.( Norway is ranked no.1 on the freedom of the press index, russia is ranked No.150)- who do you trust?

The very word ‘Russia’ / ‘Russians’ makes me throw up ! They’re sick ! Sick, passed the point of no return !

When you want to use chemical or nuclear weapons, first you withdraw your forces to a safe distance, Ukrainian forces moving into retake territory that could very well become a target for such strikes

[command_unit]

Russia never wanted Northen Ukraine anyway...

[ericduinkerke]

Oops. When zooming in on Odessa, next/west to Moldova "Poland" was written. In reality Romania is located there. Poland is not a neighbouring conuntry of Moldova, Ukraine lies between them.

We share this planet with monsters. Some of these monsters invaded Ukraine, and they had to be stopped and pushed out from every inch from Ukrainian soil. Humanity has a duty to protect humanity against monsters.

One wonders if Russia's nuclear force is in just as bad a shape as the rest of its military. Let's hope we don't have to find out the hard way.

If I remember correctly at the battle of Hastings they faked a withdraw to have the English side be over confident and to over extend there forces then turned back and attacked winning the battle.
