Putin is preparing to escalate the bombing in Ukraine. That's why they are retreating their troops. He's buying time in order to gather more troops. Putin
Russia pretty much destroyed all of Puppetlenskyy's mercenaries.
It's pretty funny watching fake news media try to spin this as a win for their libsheeples.
Over one million Iraqi people died as a result of USA illegal invasion of Iraq based on lies and NATO was just fine with that, it even helped America.
Same with the UN and Europe.
It's very interesting to me.
American and European war crimes in Vietnam.
In 1995 Vietnam released its official estimate of the number of people killed during the Vietnam War: as many as 2,000,000 civilians on both sides and some 1,100,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighters. The U.S. military has estimated that between 200,000 and 250,000 South Vietnamese soldiers died.
But offcourse no one complained about this, this is ok.
America dropped 2 nuclear bombs on Japan and the rest of the world was fine with it.
Interesting.
Ukraine is a criminal country.
Ukraine is a participant in the NATO led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and has deployed troops as part of NATO's ISAF mission to the country.
It also helped in illegal invasions of Iraq.
More than 5,000 Ukrainian troops have served in Iraq during Ukraine's five years of service in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The 5th Separate Mechanized Brigade was a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces sent to Iraq in August 2003. Brigade was deployed from 17 August 2003 to March 2004.
In 2010, Ukraine has been sold to Azerbaijan a 71 BTR-70, 7 self-propelled artillery "Carnation" 2S1 122 mm, 1 Mi-24P, a managed anti-missile complex, and 3,000 rifles and pistols. Ukraine remains as one of the main military partners of Azerbaijan, and helped the war against the Armenia.
It doesn't matter the damage has been done by Putin, they will not immediately be welcomed back into the world economy.
🇺🇦 â¤ï¸ÂÂSLAVA UKRAINI! â¤︠🇺🇦
Noup, it's not withdraw nor cover story. It's just regrouping… Aha, russia won't give up – at least until destroying Kiev. Come on, all the important politics are there, they won't leave from Ukraine with nothing to gain….
Press on Ukraine right to their borders, never trust anything the Russians say, let them retreat and fire a rocket right up there arse.
Putin the thug hires private security forces and Chechyan thugs to fight because his army is incompatent. The Kremlin has no clue what they are doing or talking about, they threaten, they lie, they bomb hospitals and schools and kill civillians. Putin wont stop and he needs to be taken out.
It makes me wonder if this is a good thing or another trick by the Russians those people better keep their guard up
It's not retreat. It's "special axial reco-ordination operations". And it's not defeat. It's "special crematorium stowage operations".
funny how the former communist countries like russia and vachina have morphed into nasty capitalist dictatorships that cant be trusted or believed
The Ukrainians desperately need large numbers of the anti armor version of the Switchblade! It could make Russian armor and artillery an endangered species! This weapon should have been given to them weeks ago… Lives are in the balance…

Stop it just stop it lies
Ukraine needs to just surrender its Putin's country anyway how would Biden like it if Putin came to USA it's over comrades and Putin has nukes so nobody messing with him like Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi
Normal average Americans, must visit Europe, Africa and Asia. It is imperative to ask at random, people from the street, as to which is the most corrupt country on earth ! We talking distinguished circuit judges that are paid by the cartel to be crooked, only in America my people, this is shocking !!…..Shame on you useless, corrupt progressive liberals ! As for the American Media, don,t even bother asking !!
Dude it is literally nuts that this is the literal only video from any news outlet (that iv seen taking up the story at least) cnn/msnbc/cbs/abc that is acknowledging the fact that the “withdrawelâ€ÂÂ/“refocusing on donnas†is most likely nothing more than a cover for… oh no we werent pushed back outta Kyiv and multiple diff. Ukrainian villages…. , we CHOSE to withdraw and reposition…. … and like for real no bs this is the only vid acknowledging it and not spewing talking point nonsense over what they may do …
Since the beginning of the military special operation of the Russian Federation on denazification and disarmament, Ukrainian troops have irretrievably lost 14 thousand fighters, 16 thousand servicemen were injured.
In total, since the beginning of the anti-Nazi and special military operation, 3,920 objects of the military infrastructure of Ukraine have been put out of operation.
Destroyed: 143 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,267 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 124 multiple rocket launchers, 457 units of field artillery and mortars, as well as 1,028 units of special military equipment.
The fleet is broken up by 95%, the air defense and the air force are broken up by 90%.
The main group of Nazis in the Donbass will soon be defeated, it is already in the boiler, Mariupol will be taken the other day!
Russia provides civilians with assistance and exits from under the fire of the AFU and the Nazis! .
ALL MERCENARIES WILL BE DESTROYED!
NATIONALIST BATTALIONS THAT WILL NOT SURRENDER WILL BE DESTROYED!
Zelensky, Poroshenko and similar creatures have already lost and they are awaiting trial for everything!
Belarusan freedom fighters have been killing the fleeing Russian soldiers by the hundreds yesterday. The Russians are suffering from exposure, especially frostbite.A lot of trucks are loaded with many looted items stolen from the Ukes….probably farmers.
I can understand that Nato does not want to put the NO-Fly zone, but they should be giving Ukrainians access to warplanes, tanks, missiles and arming them to the teeth to resist Putin criminal actions…the Russians are also victims of Putin…the Russian army will be destroyed in Ukraine if this war goes on…
wouldnt be surprised or against if there were some cia and "military advisors" in ukraine right now playing a big role in stopping the russians, its been historically the truth. besides putins broken all the rules in invading ukraine and continues to break new ones as he is climbing to being the biggest modern butcher.
yup, russian only negotiating what they have to conceed at the moment which is the opffensive assualt on the west of ukraine, but never on where they are devastating the most, in the south east coastal areas. sounds like a bad deal, russians must of read "the art of the deal"!
Peaceful Meeting in East&Bull isn't it..
Why stop the offensive, the regime in Russia is full of %#%#, keep up on the grind Ukraine!!
Do you believe Putin and his associates ??? No N O !!! Never trust Putin !!! Look into his eyes, you will see KGB !!! Look into his soul, you will see a liar !!! look at his actions, he is a criminal.
STOP USING UKRAINE AS GEOPOLITICAL VICTORY
Warning – Watch Putin now very carefully, he’s mobilising men across the country for the army big time and he’s got his nukes primed.
If he’s pulling troops out then its time for you to watch out. He's up to no good.
It wont take much to nuke/hit a city and take it with a parachute assault.
He's not worried about human life we have seen this, he's a maverick.
He thinks the population is with him, truth is they are scared to death and unlikly to speak against him thats the truth, and Putin will likely to go balistic if his ego is not being massaged!
There is no shift. This is a military tactic. Press harder with permanent sanctions. Do not be fooled.
To me the announcement of Russian government for reducing military action around kyiv in the peace talks in Turkey is a proof that they were defeated in every front and retreated just to cover their defeat against Ukrainian forces …

Why the mob media like ABC , CBS, NBC, CNN forgot the issue about laptop Hunter Biden where there was proof about some links between Hunter Biden and CCP (Communist party)?

We should deploy the Israeli military to Russia, they know how to kill children and innocent people just as well as any Russian, At least then it would be a fair fight.
The Russian ANtI CHRIST Putin is regrouping, resupplying and working out a new Tatic to continue Genocide of the Ukrainians.
The irony of the oligarch negotiating after stealing so much from the Russian army.
The Ukrainians desperately need large numbers of the anti armor version of the Switchblade! It could make Russian armor and artillery an endangered species! This weapon should have been given to them weeks ago… Lives are in the balance…
Why hasn't ABC reported on Hunter Biden's legal cases in 259 days? What are you hiding?
*Poison is Israel made up to protect Abamitch's sanction relief, HUGE period! Illogical and does NOT add up in Kiev poison? come on! USA
