US and other Western nation’s Specail Ops (And CIA) people have been ‘advising’ Ukraine troops in the feild….
Ukraine will withdraw its forces from Severodonetsk, the eastern city that is the locus of Russia’s war effort, regional governor Serhiy Haidai said early Friday. The move comes after months of grinding artillery bombardments. Russian troops are advancing toward the neighboring city of Lysychansk, he said.
The retreat “may take some time,” the head of the Severodonetsk regional administration told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. The Pentagon sought to downplay the significance of the withdrawal. A senior U.S. defense official said Friday that the Ukrainians are moving to a “position where they can better defend themselves.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday accused the E.U. and NATO of assembling a “coalition” for “war.” Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov played down the E.U.’s decision Thursday to grant Ukraine and Moldova candidate status while cautioning that Russia’s relationship with Europe was at a low ebb.
At a news conference after a meeting of top officials from around the world in Berlin on Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that “Russia has already lost.” He cited Moscow’s failure to take away Ukraine’s sovereignty and the predicted further shrinking of Russia’s economy because of Western sanctions.
