Thanks...Ukraine Army does surrender often, and likely because Kiev Gov. recognizes they cannot sustain or gain any new recruits with the losses they've been having...so when the numbers get so far they are under orders now to retreat. I would imagine.

However...in comes Poroshenko now calling for a 'safety corridor' to "show" he's concerned for the people. Forgetting that Putin called for that weeks ago and opened his own....might be they are working together on this but I have my doubts...could be part of their so called "Understanding".

Everything remains to be seen now as this week goes IMO... week....which will determine all the following weeks ahead I think.
