In one week of fighting, 4,560 Russian soldiers have died, and the Kremlin has withdrawn its forces from Kherson

Russia has struggled to gain footing in its war against Ukraine in the past few weeks, as Ukrainian officials report their adversary is sending troops into Ukraine with World War II-era gear and poorly operating rifles. The wives of mobilized Russian soldiers are complaining that their husbands are being shot at if they attempt to abandon their positions, and are threatening to go to the frontlines to bring their husbands home after a Ukrainian operation wounded many.

Ukrainian Troops Seen In Abandoned Russian Camp After Kherson Withdrawal

As of Friday, nearly 80,000 Russian personnel had been killed by Ukrainian forces since the start of the war, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine posted on Facebook. The updates also include destruction done to tanks, personnel vehicles, artillery systems, aircraft and missiles and more.

Russia recently retreated its forces from Kherson, a region in southern Ukraine the Kremlin has occupied since the war began in February—one of the Kremlin's biggest losses yet.

The withdrawal means Russia relinquished control of the only provincial capital it had captured during the war back to Ukraine. Visegrad 24, a European online news agency, shared videos of Ukrainian people welcoming their forces into the city.

They have retreated many times in history

EVERYTHING changes in 4 weeks; this is Putin's calm before the storm | Redacted with Clayton Morris

The ground in Ukraine will likely freeze in the next 4-7 weeks. When that happens, we will see everything change in Ukraine.

Actually, no. Russia no longer has the manpower and resources to pull this off.

No.. you won’t. Your Russians are getting their asses kicked, and that will continue. The LOCs are severely limited now and the Ukes are being outfitted with modern cold-weather gear. The only force on the move will be the Ukrainians.

Liberated to suffer a hard, grueling winter without heat, food, or electricity.

A pyrrhic victory for Ukraine.

Thanks for admitting you have poor comprehension of the written word in addition to a poor grasp of basic logic.

Totally.

That's why I got a free ride to college out of my SATs all those years ago - my poor comprehension of the written word.

Plus, the Azov torturers will be hunting for "collaborators" to kill...

The Ukrainians are at home. The Russians aren't. I've slept in the minus 20s (F) without heat and walked miles in the minus 30s with ice spraying in 80 mph gusts. Many of the new Ukrainians can do it. But Russians...? We'll see.

“They have retreated many times in history”

And the Ukrainians will be even more ready for them at the outset next time.

You’re so defensive. Clearly I was over the target.
