За това, че украинците можеше да успеят да отрежат пътя за снабдяване на руснаците около Киев се говореше от повече от седмица. Възможно е наистина да е имало риск това да се случи и това да е истинската причина за отстъплението.
This is not a sudden outbreak of benevolence on the part of the war criminals in the Kremlin. Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s evil war of aggression continues in the rest of Ukraine — as demonstrated by a missile strike on the Mykolaiv government building in southern Ukraine on Tuesday morning and the continuing siege of Mariupol, a port on the Sea of Azov, with heavy loss of civilian life.
Putin is simply acknowledging reality: His forces are losing the war around Kyiv. Indeed, following the success of a recent Ukrainian counteroffensive around the capital, Russian troops are in danger of encirclement. The Russian pullback, in short, has nothing to do with increasing “mutual trust” and everything to do with saving its forces from defeat.
The Russians apparently hope to find greater success by shifting focus to the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
