    He should have waited until Gollum announced it in Red Square.

        There's been a fair amount of reporting of Russian casualties - KIA, wounded and others.

        I haven't seen much about Ukrainian losses lately. Last time I saw anything, there was supposedly a 1:3 ratio between the two forces.

            Wonder what was able to be salvaged from all the abandoned or disabled Russian stuff?

                        Even funnier- Putin is yet still to figure it out that Russia is very much the junior partner to China in the New Cold War with the West.

                                        That’s the danger when your army can’t fulfill your ideological goals. First rule of being a dictator. Only threaten what you can achieve.

                                          Russian troops have withdrawn from the town of Lyman in eastern Ukraine to avoid being surrounded by Ukraine’s army, the Russian Ministry of Defense said Saturday.

                                          “In connection with the creation of a threat of encirclement, allied troops were withdrawn from the settlement of Krasny Liman to more advantageous lines,” the defense ministry said on social media platform Telegram.

                                          The Russian name for the town of Lyman is Krasny Liman.

                                          Russia state media reported that the reason for the withdrawal was due to Western-made artillery and intelligence..
