At 5am on Wednesday Serhii Melnikov heard a noise outside. The Russian soldiers who were living in the house opposite – were packing up to leave. They had occupied the village of Mylove in Ukraine’s southern Kherson region for eight months. Now they were off, as part of a humiliating pull-out from the right-bank of the Dnipro river.
“Vladimir Putin said Russia would be here for ever. In the end they left in five minutes and ran away like goats,Putin wanted to kill us. He’s ended up destroying his own country. Russia’s retreat from Kherson is an enormous failure.”
...The last moments of occupation were tinged with vindictiveness. On their way out Russian troops blew up the village’s school and nursery buildings, where they had lived, and brought down the radio tower. They detonated Mylove’s crossing over a tributary of the Dnipro, and other pieces of infrastructure.
Ukrainian special forces swept in on Thursday night. By Friday morning residents had put out blue-and-yellow flags and were celebrating their first hours of freedom.
..Melnikov said the village was originally home to 1,000 people. Between 300 and 400 stayed after the Russian takeover. He said: “We asked them why they had come. They replied: ‘To make your lives better.’ By the time they exited we had gone back in time 30 years. We now have no electricity, gas or water. Everyone is broke and there are no jobs. Instead of waging war, Putin could have fixed the roads and hospitals in his own country.”
“I was here from the beginning until the end. What amazed me is how many of Putin’s warriors seemed unfamiliar with toilets and asphalt roads. They arrived saying we were Nazis. By the time they left it was clear to everyone they were the Nazis. They destroyed everything.”

Azov units are all over Ukraine. Russia’s corrupt and Potemkin fake army impotently runs away from them.
Not everyone. Just true believer vatniks like you.
I believe you have them confused with the 'separatists', who filmed themselves shooting down a civilian airliner full of Dutch citizens and filmed themselves gleefully looting the carriage.
But I wouldn't expect any less when ones two functioning brain cells can't even manage to play 'pass the electron' on a good day.
Sorry to disappoint you but Poland is Ukraine’s great supporter. Near every European neighbor of Russia is happy to send arms and money to Ukraine so defending Ukrainians can kill invading Russian nazis. Lots of Russians. Buy a clue and ask yourself why that is.
Yes, let’s use 80-year-old history to justify the rape and torture of Ukrainian civilians who had nothing to do with any of it
You are making an argument I did not address.
OK
—> Yes, let’s use 80-year-old history to justify the rape and torture of Ukrainian civilians who had nothing to do with any of it
I said nothing about that.
Like a Zeeper with PMS, you made it up and began to Reeeeeeeeeee!
OK
It’s not the EU. This is the Ukrainians kicking Putin’s butt.
No EU troops, these are Ukrainians fighting
That was 75 years ago.
Today’s nazis are in Putin’s army
Ukraine was attacked and is valiantly fighting back against the odds.
So what is that in reference to?
—> So what is that in reference to?
It was in response to a statement by another poster who detailed the existence of Russian Nazis.
Both.
If it’s not relevant to the current war in Ukraine, why do you keep bringing it up like some kind of magic talisman to justify and excuse russian atrocities?
Next syop conquering Kosovo, expelling the mohommedans and rejoining it with Serbia.
Are you some kind of EU cheerleader? The EU is a rival to the U.S. Oh
It's what tankies do.
Again, it is you saying that and nothing I wrote.
Really, it seems you’re so emotional you are reading into what I wrote.
I wrote what I meant and nothing you added to it.
I have 17 goats on my land. Jack, the lead billy doesn’t run from shit. I’ve seen him drive multiple dogs into the ground. 150 pounds of don’t fk with me attitude. And I will add, anyone remember 3 billy goats gruff? It appears no billy goats along with no men....
Flaming rats are faster, but they don’t run in a particular direction.
So we agree that World War II history has no relevance to the current situation. Good to know.
