Because they actually ray away lol😂😂, ukraine will retreat for a moment and eventually they will come back for severodonetsk
@MistaHaYo haha keep dreaming like the ghost of kyiv. Lmao
@MistaHaYo
And after the go to Mariupol
You nailed it
What ever happened to the “GAME CHANGING WEAPONS” that was supposed to beat Russian Military back to Moscow?
Those weapons were wishful thinking.
All media houses are biased, either one or the other way. They have no qualms in interpreting events to suit their whims.
i think Russia doing great,
Here is a better headline “Ukraine is defeated in the battle for Severodonestsk: forcing a retreat”
They could have carried on fighting if they had long range artilleries, and missiles. USA and NATO let down Ukraine!
This war is lost.
Russia can never be beaten.
Very very stupid of Ukrainians to falls for the lies of the west. Now they will los eeveyrthing.
I thought mines were a bad thing they hurt civilians??? Or is that condemnation just for the one the west dislike ??
the Ukraine must negotiate with Russia the Eu&US are not interested in the ending of the war but prefer it to continue they believe it will weaken Russia
Russia long live 🇮🇳
Where are they withdrawing to?
Z
Blowing up the bridge was a waste of money 💴
I thought Ukraine is winning the war
MSM said Ukraine 🇺🇦 is winning
How will the civilian leave if the Ukraine army blow up the bridge??
NATOS beautiful strategy to telll Zelensky to go to war with the red army.
Propaganda
Western media will begin to spin this as the latest major Ukraine offensive starting from Severodonestk and rapidly advancing east.
The world’s No. 1 enemies are China and U.S, but why doesn’t Europe know?
British people do not join the common currency, then get out of the EU to weaken the economy, the EU dong against the dollar?
U.S uses NATO as a neckline, uses Russia to intimidate. Weakening EU?
The CIA created contradictions, conflicts, brought troops to war around the world. Using Agent Orange, Napal bombs, dirty bombs, nuclear weapons destroyed humanity. Why is Europe not embargo, not yelling?
A smart country should not follow U.S’s backstabbing, causing disaster to other countries. Ukr, Polpot, Republic of Vietnam … is a memorable lesson.
Good job Russia
That means Ukraine is winning like catching C0vid means the vaccine is working.
At the end there will be a peace treaty and everyone will forget. It is the common people who always pay price. I hope diplomacy prevails.
It is good to retreat troops than captured by Russia. They can go other areas or home. I would say give Donbas and other captured areas to Russia as a peace deal to end the war.
Russia will take it all now and rightly so. Ukraine is Russia 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺
a Ucrania abandonou Severodonetzk, mas ganhou no outro lado de Kherson, Leviv. Karkiv… e mais ums dezenas de tanques, aviões, helicópetros, 300 soldados, generais, etc…a guerra é assim com avanços e recuos…A URSS também recuou perante os primeiros tempos da Alemanha invasora…Salvé a Ukrania!!
Ukrain pulled-back from Severodonetsk but advanced in Kherson, Kiev, Karkiv… and killed more 300 russians, 20 generals, dozens of tanks, planes, helicopters…war is like that, with advances and pull-backs… The URSS also retreated in front of german army during WWII…Salve Ukraini!!

Tiny puffy faced thief, liar and murderer Pootin’s conquest invasion continues, with the “liberation” of another depopulated, destroyed city. Russian kiddie trolls cheer like it is a sports match – Go Russia, team Russia, we love death and destruction…
Behold. The great Russian Bear always wins in the end. The inevitable SUBMISSION of the Donbas was never in doubt from many informed observers. Severodonestk is only the prelude.
The Kiev regime should know when they are already conquered; acknowledging reality instead of chosing to live in a dangerous denial could have saved more lives.
UAF retreating didn’t help the innocent elderly, woment & children that lost their lives because of Kyiv’s delusional madness to fight on in Severodonestk for so long, and for no reason other than hubris and political expediency.
Mr. Zelenksy and his failed Ministers- Reznikov and Kyrylo Budanov are existing on borrowed time.
They. Are. Coming..
Ukraine getting kicked out of Donbas is wonderful. At last, justice is served. Russia won’t stop now and Ukraine asked for this.
Propaganda and lies 🤣😂🤣Original governor said 🤣🤣🤣
Be careful with the news you hear on this channel, if you listen carefully you would see so much contradiction of the news that they try to transmit, original governor said 🤣😂🤣🤣
Cowardice move to stop the Russian
Z ✌️
Russia is a supper power. What does Ukraine expect .
What happened to the narative that the Ukrainian army was hammering Russia?
🕊
Next thing the Ukrainian forces will be evacuated….
Putin’s bloodthirsty neo-Bolshevik regime in Russia takes its origin directly in Soviet Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. Like his Communist mentors and predecessors, Lenin and Stalin (even the names of these three dictators sound similarly), Kremlin tyrant Putin and his anti-Russian regime bans, persecute, and murders opposition, wages wars of aggression, commits war crimes abroad, and commits acts of genocide against its own people at home.
Another Victory for Russian. Ukrainian forces knew they would lose,an earlier retreat was a better option
Well done russia
Ukrainian forces “desertions” on the combat field, has accelerated at an alarming rate. This was reported by British military intelligence report to UK defense committee.
Patrick Lancaster independent Reporter – showed, yesterday mopping up was near done of Severodonetsk by Donbas militia and Chechnya fighters, Russian army units have reach Bakhmut outskirts and artillery pounding has start.
Russian news – showed Retreating Ukrainian forces from Lysychansk, moving towards Verkhn’okam’yans’ke. some 55,00 ran leaving all heavy USA-NATO equipment behind were caught up in the open spaces by Russian gun ships.
why is this not reported by BBC or western media. please stop feeding us your lies.
Denazification – Thank you Putin!
My be ukrain they will choose bad peace deal it’s to late
Tactical Withdrawal or Evacuation??? 😂 😂 😂
BAI LAN UKRAINE< STAY HOME USA NO WAR

Respect to the Russian.
Full support for Russia! 🇷🇺❤️ Thank you for fighting against western aggression and hegemony.
withdraw=defeated
Ukrainian forces never retreat, they ‘evacuated’. 😂😂😂
The Guardian and the Sun say the Ukranians are winning. So do not worry ))
Boy you confused it. It was simply Evacuation not withdrawal. And of course not a defeat 🤫
there is no way Ukraine wins the war. US is pushing Ukraine to bleed Russia and EU out.
Yay the donbass war is nearly over
Now russia can start some real fighting
Who cares about Russia Ukraine war
Wow wow wow cutting off the remaining bridge to slow down the Russian while you comrade are on the other end fighting wow this is call betrayal
Am fighting with u in a room and u exist d room and close the door or the enemy to get me
After all, it is the land that speaks Russian.
The caused of destruction and death to Ukrainian is billions of US dollars in ZELENSKY private bank account. Russia
should aimed the bomb on Zelensky HEAD and let another rational Ukranian …. takeover and summons for peace.
When are you going to start telling the truth . The bombardment started eight (8) years ago by the Ukrainians, shelling INOCENT civilians. What has started five month ago, is the liberation of the Donbass!!!!
They lost the city long back except a few holed up in in the plant like in Maruipol steel plant, & then saying we are defending
It is funny how they describe lost ..”retreat”.
ZELENDKY NOW IN DEEP DEEP TROUBLE.😢😢😫😫😫
WHOLE UKRAINE IS NOW FALLING DOWN, REGION AFTER REGION.😫😫😫😩😩😩😰😰
What could have happened to Iraqi soldiers enduring SHOCK and AWE to turn their backs to on American troops like this?
Z
Not just retreated but they were defeated.
In the next few days, It will be Ukrainian troops evacuated by the Russian forces.
USA and their private organisation Nato,lives on blood and sweat other nations and countries…Balkan,Lybia,Syria,Iraq,Avganistan,Somalia…now Ukraines are dying for americain interes….but biggest american asslicker are UK and EU.Killers will defend Ukraine to last ukraines head.Long live Russia,China,India,Brazil,Iran,Venecuela,Cuba,Serbia,all Africa….long live fight for FREEDOM…Ukraine is finished….Bye,bye Mariupolj,Severodonjetsk,Lisicans….the next are Slavjansk,Krematorsk,Odessa…what I say ,its happened!
Glory to DNR, LNR and Russia !!!
But why wait till the city is bombed to ruin before retreating, knowing fully well this has been all Russian tactics in this war.
Totally criminally.
In Ukrainian language WITHDRAWAL is SURRENDER AND DEATH.
Propaganda is so ridiculous here.
Its proven through history, US installed government cannot survive. From South Vietnam to the last withdrawal Afghanistan, all of them easily colapsed. The only winner is US military industry. Never ever allowed US to enter your country. Only destruction awaits you.

Ukrain will not regain eastern ukrain
So they ran like dogs
In 60 AD Apostle Saint Andrew traveled to the area of Kiev, preached, and said, one day a great city would be built here with many churches to the glory of God. Today there is a church to Saint Andrew in Kiev. The peoples in the area were Slavic. Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land.
The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus.
Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized “forms” as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn’t invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940’s and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author.
Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir…his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty…later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate.
Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia’s beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation.
Askold was in Constantinople in 860 and Oleg arrived in Novgorod not until 862. The Arabs referred to Askold as the Slavic King or King of the Slavs which he had been for a while. Pontius says Askold brings Christianity to Kiev from Constantinople and a bishop. Ragnar the Norse King of Sweden was born in 767 AD, his son Bjorn ironside was born in 796 AD, and grandson Oskold (Askold) was born in 820 AD. Askold arrived in Kiev in 840 and had a son Dir, Both become King and the first Christian dynasty. Askold dies and gets a burial mound in a park in Kiev. Dir follows as King. Dir is assassinated by Oleg who is a pagan. Nobody knows who Rurik is or who the father is . Oleg is a generation away from Askold. Olga of Kiev builds a church on Askold’ s burial grounds. Pontius of Constantinople says Askold brings a Bishop and Christianity to Kiev. Russia much later is a Mongolian invention……
When russians withdraw its a Ukrainian victory when Ukraine does the same its a tactical withdrawal the world now knows who has been using propaganda
These are the same journalists who were reporting that Ukraine is winning the war.
Now the same journalists are saying the Ukrainian soldiers are leaving instead of saying they the cowards are fleeing with their tails between their legs. They are doing the same as theire American masters when they fled Afghanistan leaving everything behind.
Ukraine is soon matching to Moscow. Tactical withdrawal..sounds great to listeners…but different in the field.
We told you, ‘please propagandas are lethal weapon ever”, don’t listen to USAij and UKid will always use your energy for their interests.
To borrow Chesty’s phrase, wer’re not retreating, we’re attacking in a different direction.
They evacuated* to Lisichansk and now they evacuated* from Lisichansk to Seversk
So they should evacuated* to Poland
ukrainian military fascists hiding behind women & children, with america backing these pigs. Not surprising at all america is the biggest coward of all hiding behind terrorists in the middle East & supremacist whites in ukraine. 🇷🇺✌️
yeah, slava Putin
Come on Zelensky… evacuate you citizens first 🤦♂️… the ignorance that guy has
They also did a tactical withdraw which is in Russian hands. Please keep doing these tour so called tactical withdraw
They run away.
