Honestly, I thought he would linger a bit for the sake of negotiations. I guess the Kremlin doesn’t give an f at this point.

Yeah it looks like they are screwed. They should have withdrawn as soon as the Russians broke through in the north. Otherwise, I guess they are liquidating political types but they are some of the only remaining forces with decent kit and training.

That said, this is just another battle in a long war, and there will be another mini-verdun somewhere else.

Don't have much of an opinion on Nalvany dying tbh.

The AFU claimed they killed 1200 Russian soldiers yesterday while their lines in Avdiivka are coming apart at the seams

Once again another point for the "AFU reports their own losses as Russia's" theory

Yeah, between his history lesson and this, he isn’t giving off a lot of vibes that he wants to compromise. His negotiation stance is going to be Moscow dictates the terms.
