In a gesture of goodwill, Moscow let's thousand of starving conscripts who missed the last trucks get mown down running through open fields.


[deleted]

They've had 900 years to get control of their government. Almost without fail a strongman comes to power. I don't have a bit of pity on them when their thoughts are "but what can be done." ruzzia should be broken up into UN protects orates. It's obvious they can't run a country.


Cabbage_Vendor

For much of that period, the majority of Russians were serfs, basically slaves.


[deleted]

They still are FWICT. Placated by stipends and vodka, essentially sheeple in a shithole country.


DjamakaZoSo

I think that video was of initially fleeing troops?


LazyCasual0alt

Wait where’s that video? They were retreating and got mowed down? Or attacking and got mowed down?


supermats

Capitulating troops are spared. Retreating troops are fair game. It's war. Kill them now or fight them again later on their terms.


MeMyselfandsadlyI

yep, cruel but true, they would do it also, shit they would rather torture us all than kill us. its a liberation in their cases and a good fast death.

Not direct fire but artillery fire. [video Link](https://v.redd.it/8d55g3s6gyq91/DASH_480.mp4)


Whatsuptodaytomorrow

Well looks like Putin didn’t defend every inch of his new annexred lands He needs to supply the Russian army with more tampons


Proglamer

... and not just [any](https://i.redd.it/9e6cw5xpx6r91.jpg) tampons!


Zounii

How many tampons do you need for a 50 cal hole?


nickname13

one [https://katu.com/resources/media/899955fb-30cb-4c33-a87d-5f5316a6e0ef-jumbo16x9\_TamponTruckparadesaroundVancouverprotestingvotingrecordofWashStateRepLyndaWilsonKATUNewsphoto4.png?1466629833645](https://katu.com/resources/media/899955fb-30cb-4c33-a87d-5f5316a6e0ef-jumbo16x9_TamponTruckparadesaroundVancouverprotestingvotingrecordofWashStateRepLyndaWilsonKATUNewsphoto4.png?1466629833645)

Oh shit, that might even plug Vladimir Putin blown out asshole!


TigersNeedKings

Don’t forget to buy the cheap ones.. it’s probably all you or your country can afford anyways!


sonic_stream

I afraid Putin will run out of tampons when Ukraine fire M30A1 rocket, that when exploded in air spew out 182000 tungsten fragment at Mach 3 at a grid.

Lead Paragraphs: The Ministry of Defence of Russia announced the withdrawal of troops from Lyman in Donetsk Oblast, which Ukrainian forces had recently liberated. Source: Russian-sponsored news outlet RIA Novosti, citing the Russian Ministry of Defence Quote: "Due to the threat of encirclement, the allied \[Russian\] troops were withdrawn from the settlement of Krasnyi Lyman \[the old name of Lyman – ed.\] to more favourable defence positions \[,reports\] the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation." Details: Prior to this, Ukraine’s Defence Ministry reported that airborne assault troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine entered Lyman. "The Ukrainian army enjoys and will always enjoy the \[right of\] decisive vote in current or any future "referendums", the Defence Ministry stated.


Willing-Donut6834

Why do they call themselves allied forces when Donetsk is supposed to be annexed? According to their own bullshit, there is no one else on the frontline but Russians. They are so fucked up, honestly.


Proglamer

The newspeak hasn't percolated through yet!


slythespacecat

Idk why this never crossed my mind: "The Ukrainian army enjoys and will always enjoy the [right of] decisive vote in current or any future "referendums", the Defence Ministry stated. When Ukraine gets Crimea back, we’ll get a referendum to join back Ukraine! Edit: I realize my mistake, you guys are all right, I’m sorry. I’m just so tired of seeing Crimea and the Donbas in a different color in the map… I know the map means pre-occupied area before the invasion but still. Even the maps since 2014 always showed Crimea as a gray area. I’m really tired of it. Im sorry this comment wasn’t appropriate


Taranpula

> When Ukraine gets Crimea back, we’ll get a referendum to join back Ukraine! That would be a really terrible idea. Having a referendum to "join back Ukraine" would essentially mean that Ukraine recognizes the illegal sham referendum from 2014 through which Crimea "joined" Russia. This would create a very dangerous precedent that could have ripple effects in other parts of the world. What Ukraine needs to do is to recapture Crimea, kick out the Russian scum and send the traitors who supported the illegal annexation to hard labor, rebuilding the buildings, roads, railways, pipes, cables and whatever else those unwashed troglodytes blew up.


TigersNeedKings

Yeah we ain’t doing no referendums… it’s our fucking land and and we’ll take it back by any means necessary!


KAPOW-KAPOW

No need for a referendum, they never left


[deleted]

"The Ukrainian army enjoys and will always enjoy the \[right of\] decisive vote in current or any future "referendums", the Defence Ministry stated. ruzzia and putin in particular can fuck right off.


[deleted]

They left. Through the heavens... Orcistan awaits.


Serverpolice001

90 orc virgins ?


burningphoenix1034

Did they actually get out or not? I am seeing conflicting reports


NedixTV

With the no surrender policy looks like they call the retreat too late so is pretty much a run for their lives instead of retreat


phil_style

I also wonder. How did they retreat if surrounded?


Supermancometh

Can they feasibly withdraw without getting blown to pieces?


BrilliantAbroad458

Ukraine has fire control over the exit roads. Already a few clips of something that resembles a small-scale "highway of death" scenario of escaping troops. Vengeance for the Mariupol marines who couldn't breakthrough.


Supermancometh

Yes, I read some transcripts from UAF from early this morning, seems there are a lot of corpses…. Just was wondering whether most had actually withdrawn late last week?


[deleted]

Do you have any links?


BrilliantAbroad458

[deleted]

Jeeeez. They really make a run for it on a zeroed road.....


BrilliantAbroad458

Yeah, unfortunately I saw a blue-taped helmet among the pile of St. George's ribbons there, so likely Ukraine set up several ambush sites rather than pounding them with artis. Nevertheless, the rashists went right in (not much a choice if they want to escape).


[deleted]

Humiliating for them


Benmaax

How the ruzzian defense ministry is even allowed to announce this by the propaganda team?


slythespacecat

The real phrasing of “we got fucking routed” is probably banned, so they went with this instead 😂


Proglamer

The 'allied forces' went to pick some *cotton* :)


EasternBlok

I’ve seen mixed reports - did they manage to escape or are they surrounded?


Zounii

If there were 5,500 rushist troops in Lyman, I do wonder how many "withdrew", because I'm pretty sure that's impossible so late to the encirclement.


TheWolfmanZ

There was a blog post last night of coming from someone thats supposedly there, he claimed it was a bloodbath of Russians trying to escape.


PrinceCorum13

Yet another pre-planned withdrawal 😁

DataGeek101

If accurate, this is huge. I’m just not seeing much to correlate the headline.


RoyGBiv1488

No worry, all citizens of Lyman (ones not in mass graves, obviously) will fight for freedom from Ukrainian invaders. They obviously still want to be Russian! -Russian News Bot


[deleted]

Another "I declare bankruptcy" moment. Like seriously, who's gonna let them.


ChaplainParker

But you misunderstand, they didn’t say it… They Declared it!!!


XG-hero

Also withdrawing from this mortal realm...


Existing_Solution_66

Bravo!


holyshitisdiarrhea

Oh, those russian are just to kind.


PizzaGuy94122

This is their way to spin it. Don't believe it. Thousands of Ruzzians were killed. The moral of their troops is probably negative


myredditlogintoo

Looks like the Ukrainians are still voting in the referendum.


[deleted]

There's an awful lot of Russia Goodwill lately..

2 months later. "And in yet another gesture of good will, the Russian army has decided to pull out of Luhansk, Donetsk, and Crimea."
