  1. They are retreating because they have no choice. They were about to become Mariupol 2.

  2. Why does Ukraine represent the “free world?”

  3. So…when’s this million man counteroffensive supposed to happen?

  4. Uh, how will those territories be reclaimed? And what benefit is there in Ukraine joining EU (if either continue to exist after)?

  5. You’ve just described war.

  6.  @chickenlord5712  so when’s this great counterattack we’ve been hearing about going to happen?

  7.  @ArmedandDangerous918  the money from gas and oil sales more than make up for it.

  8.  @aliancemd  then Ukraine has committed war crimes.

  9.  @oldquaker  can you even explain the “European ideology and spirit?” You can’t, can you? And how does Ukraine fit into it?

  10.  @ChrisVillagomez  in war, you shake a tree to see what comes out. They saw the North would be costly and the East and South to be weaker, so they shifted to the weak points. That’s war strategy.

  11.  @ChrisVillagomez  that’s what happens in war. It’s too bad that convoy in the North didn’t work out though. It could have brought a swift end to the war. Now, many people have to die and suffer.

  12.  @ChrisVillagomez  you mean under NATO aggression.
    1
  13.  @chickenlord5712  what tactic? If you’re always retreating with no plans for counterattack, then by definition you’re losing.

  14.  @starmnsixty1209  NATO expansionism and the coup that installed the Zelensky regime.

  15. Still waiting on the evidence.

  16. Uh, they are about to lose everything east of the river. At what point is the “breaking point?”

  17. What would you consider “losing?”

  18.  @montecristo8174  the Russians have only been sending an expeditionary force, and it’s wiped out Ukraine’s full military. What can Ukraine do now? Where will they get the men for a counteroffensive? Why are they begging for more weapons?

  19. The forces withdraw on their own, and then Kyiv announces it after, like it was their order so they don’t get embarrassed.

  20. The Eastern half of Ukraine is pro-Russian.
