I know the Avdeevka retreat’s been beaten half to death, and I’m just as over it as you probably are. But here’s a couple things worth noting, that will tie together into a larger whole. They first focus on a 21 year old AFU soldier who just ‘barely’ made it out from the Russian advance:
By the time his unit retreated, he was in charge. So many soldiers had been wounded that there was “nobody more senior left,” the 21-year-old said.
When his group finally left the city entirely, he watched the convoy in front of him erupt into fire as artillery took them out. “It was just a convoy of people. A convoy of the best men ever. And in front of our eyes, this convoy was destroyed by artillery. People of my age, between 20 and 30.”
Russian soldiers are dying by the thousands for the dreams of Der Leader.
Perhaps if England had just surrendered to hitler, thousands of Englishmen would have lived….
