I don’t remember Russia ever claiming control over the town. The forces are moving southeast, to finish the Donbas group of the Ukrainian army.

Sigh! Your comments have actually become humorous, if it weren’t for the horrors of war.

The Russians had Irpin. There were even videos of refugees escaping over the blown bridges at Irpin, and the Russians advanced past those obstacles and spent a lot of time putting pontoon bridges over the river. At one point the Russians were well past Irpin, all the way to the Kiev zoo.

But the Ukes are way, way past Irpin, to the major crossroads at Ivankiv, as of yesterday. The Russians seem to have retreated past that.

True.
