Här är väll det mest intressanta som tagits upp på ett internationellt forum
- They are pissed of on kiev. While soo far threats to go there to clean up were coming from militia currently similiar voices are commonly heard from regular army.
- Seems that even some of the troops on most foward positions were able to evac tho barely.
- They pulled out with whatever was still judged to be in sufficient condtion to get back to Ukrainian lines.
- There was no order to withdraw by general HQ. If there was most likely separatists would be ready for them and no one would get out alive.
- Fallback was personaly issued by 128th commander.
- They were pulling out under heavy fire. No corridor or any kind of a deal. Separatists forces were attempting to pursue withdrawing units.
- Despite countermeasures like prohibition and MP patrols seems that Ukrainian High Command is not able to control the situation.
- Claims that troops from cauldron were re-positioned around Artemovsk are pure BS to large extent. CNC is still in shambles, defences are not prepared properly.
