That’s a beaten army right there. Going double time across that pontoon bridge without even taking their washing machines with them.
Pretty good read from Forbes about how the Ukrainians have been successful in blunting Russia's huge advantage in air power.

It doesn't look like they want to be a Russian satellite state, does it?
Or "negotiate" to give away their fellow citizens to the Russians.

That’s a nice bridge you have there Vlad. Be a shame if something happened to it (again)

Yup, a retreat is not a ceasefire. Some of the most decisive victories in the US Civil War were the result of routing retreating armies. Strike while the iron is hot and your adversary is disorganized and falling back.
See, e.g., the Kharkiv counteroffensive.
This is how we (army) view MLRS. If 155mm rounds start falling...RUN! You have a good shot of getting out alive.You can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball. But there ain’t no dodging that HIMARs barrage.
If MLRS (Steelrain) starts falling.... you're screwed

You don’t need the translation to understand what’s happening here and it’s beautiful:
That could change. “Ukraine has so far managed to hold its own in the air domain, largely using its own equipment,” the RUSI analysts wrote. “However, there is a real danger that this success leads to Western complacency about the threat that the [Russian air force] can still pose to Ukrainian forces, infrastructure and cities if given an opening.”
“Ukraine now needs rapid deliveries of SAM launchers and missile ammunition, [anti-aircraft guns] and ideally Western fighter aircraft to prevent a sustained strike campaign that could, if unopposed, thwart the dominant battlefield momentum that Ukrainian troops have fought so hard to win.”
So you are telling me the Russian controlled voting in occupied territories was a scam all along? Russia would do something like that???? WHAT?
@hwk23 Care to offer an explanation?
Yeah, but, but, but they want to be Russian! They voted to be Russian!

Me too! Maybe too early for the videos to out there. (I keep searching.)
