He drops hikes on kharkiv, blowback will fall on Russian territory. By that I mean radiation fallout from the bomb, as kharkiv is close to Russian territory
Since this began any time Putin withdrew from an area it was reported by Ukraine they drove them back. I tend to think Putin state he had certain missions he was going to accomplish and layed them out pretty specifically. But the press consistantly pushes He wants Ukraine, or he’s going for the entire eastern area, or he’s going for Moldova etc. etc.
If you check what Putin said over what the press has stated it looks like he’s simply pulling back from areas he’s accomplished his purpose in.
