Severodonetsk: Ukrainian forces told to retreat from key eastern city
BBC ^ | 6/24/22 | BBC

Posted on 06/24/2022 5:02:37 AM PDT by JonPreston

Ukrainian forces in Severodonetsk have been ordered to withdraw, according to the top regional official.

The city is the focus of Russia's invasion as it tries to take control of large parts of eastern Ukraine.

"Remaining in positions that have been relentlessly shelled for months just doesn't make sense," Luhansk regional head Serhiy Haidai said.

Russian forces have nearly encircled Severodonetsk in recent days, and are now targeting its twin city Lysychansk.

"They have received orders to retreat to new positions... and from there continue their operations," Mr Haidai told Ukrainian television on Friday morning.

Go to Google and ask for Ruble to USD.

The 1Y chart shows the Ruble on March 9th was .0072 and it has steadily went up since then and is at .019 now.

I was told they were surronded. How can they retreat?

The can retreat from Severodonetsk across the Seversky Donets River to Lisichansk by using the bridges in their rear that were blown up by their command. Pretty simple, really.

“Oh wait, we have been hearing this shit for months.”

Why would Putin quit now? He now owns 30% of the corrupt country and is winning more territory every single day.

Now, that’s losing on a huge scale.

How’s that $40 billion we sent working out for you Zelensky?

Russia, nuclear armed and the largest country in the world, is reduced to destroying one Ukrainian village at a time.

The bests of Russia’s army was destroyed in the fields around Kyiv. Kyiv stands. Russia’s flagship sent to the bottom of the black sea. Sunk by a nation with no navy. Evidence is all around but Kremlin loving eyes will never see.

That $40 billion is a drop in the bucket. Soros HQ EU continue to pour hundreds of millions into Russia every single day. Why should Russia stop its banditry given that? The EU is in partnership with one party state fascist Russia and happily paying for its war and genocide in Ukraine.

“Vladimir Putin falsely claims that Russian speakers in the Donbas have been victims of genocide - a key justification for his invasion of Ukraine...In turn, Ukraine accuses Moscow of committing genocide against the Ukrainian people with the indiscriminate bombing and shelling.”

Note how only one is worded as “falsely claims”, and the other is “accuses”.

For Trump supporters, the term “falsely claims” should ring a bell, after the 2020 election...and in the case of the election, and given 2000 Mules, we now know, for certain, that there is substance behind Trump’s ‘false claim’, which is why they feel the need to keep using terms like ‘false claim’, a preemptive way to discredit a claim, without having to actually discredit it.

So, as to Ukraine, both claims are false (Zelensky would be perfectly happy with racially purifying his country by driving out the Russian speakers into other countries; While if Russia wanted a genocide, there wouldn’t any Ukrainians alive today). But did Putin really use the word ‘genocide’? I’d be interested in finding out, as I don’t know either way, except that Putin is very careful with his choice of words.
