Whatever you do, don’t say that Ukraine is losing. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi has just issued a new dire assessment confirming widespread international reports that Ukraine forces are getting beaten back from the frontlines.
He has confirmed that his outnumbered troops have fallen back to new positions on the eastern front, west of the villages of Berdychi and Semenivka, outside of Avdiivka – and near Novomykhailivka. Gen. Syrskyi has essentially admitted for the first time that a ‘tactical’ retreat is underway.
“The situation at the front has worsened,” Syrskii wrote on Telegram, ironically coming just days after President Biden signed into effect a $61 billion defense aid package for Ukraine. The Pentagon has vowed to ship new weapons as fast as possible, while some Ukrainian officials have been warning that it is too little, too late.
“In general, the enemy achieved certain tactical successes in these areas, but could not gain operational advantages,” Syrskii said, noting too that Russia has been able to pour additional manpower into the east with ease.
“The enemy has engaged up to four brigades in these directions, and is trying to develop an offensive west of Avdeevka and Maryinka,” the top Ukrainian commander said.
The statement also comes following Russia’s defense ministry announcing that its forces had captured the village of Novobakhmutivka on Sunday.
STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
Checking out some Das Boot remake streams earlier and there were all kinds of pop ups about UAF falling back in the 404.
If the comrades update their blue and yellow profile pics and we click our heels together three times there will be a victorious march up the Volokolamsk Highway all the way to the Moscow Green Zone?
