Reprieve?
Let’s hope so. The farmers need to plant their fields and the world needs fertilizer.
It’s over. The Neocon cheerleaders can put down their pom poms. Russia controls the utilities and the major roads. The deal is already cut. The only question left is does Biden still get to be Mr 10% or does the EU take a piece from him in exchange for Ukraine membership.
A battle to take Kyiv would be manpower and equipment intensive, and probably very costly. A lot of supplies need to be accumulated before undertaking something like that. If the general staff is squawking about the task then Putin may have decided to lay off Kyiv and redeploy his forces to the eastern part of Ukraine so that he can get more decisive results there in time to affect a peace settlement.
RETREAT!..................
Translation:
We are in over our heads. Time to cut our losses...
Kiev
If Russia and Ukraine can make peace is it possible that World War 3 can be avoided on free Republic and make peace here between the Putin lovers and the Zelensky lovers?
Sure, I believe that!
Just like I believe that Hitler pulled back his divisions from the Soviet Union, all the way back to Berlin, in order to demonstrate his "good will" and pave the way for peace negotiations.

Gee...seems like this is only a piece...No matter what...Kyiv is doing clean up...and that takes man power...
Ran out of bullets? *SMIRK*
Because Russia is losing, badly.
As planned all along.
The ignorance on this thread is still astonishing. Armchair generals ignorant of the last 15 uears.
Russia needs to go home.
Bad day for the blood thirsty Putin Stooges.
I see Z is now openly talking about Ukraine being allowed to continue as a neutral country. This would mean there’s no more NATO talk and no NATO prospects for Ukraine.
Putin’s getting what he wants by stopping NATO encroachment on his border.
Step towards peace my bleep. They are getting pushed back and suffering heavy losses.
Refugee and resupply crises puts a burden on your enemies. We have it in the United States too. Our foreign and domestic enemies filled our cities with non-productive "refugees" who are supported with trillions of taxpayer dollars.

The Biden administration will not allow peace.
The Russians have to withdraw now from the salient west of Kyiv or face a serious possibility of losing their entire forces here to encirclement.
On the map, the road from Ivankiv to Demydiv is where the stalled convoy was. Through Ivankiv is the only way out for the Russians now.
At Ivankiv is a bridge over the Teteriv river which is crucial to Russian forces' escape.
Russia tried in the last few days to attack Ukrainian forces at Teterivske and open another escape route but failed.
