There is a mountain of evidence that it was disorderly retreat from Kyiv. But I guess Russian loving eyes will never see it.
There are mountains of evidence for multiple suppositions. Neither of us knows for sure what is actually happening, and the truth is not dependent upon whatever either of us thinks is the case. What makes no sense is to impugn the motives of anyone who examines the same limited facts from a different perspective and might see different possibilities. I have been a part of this forum for 24 years and bear no ill well toward anyone here, including you.
