“Ukraine war: Russia WITHDRAWS troops from Lyman”
So much for them being ‘encircled’ and about to be liquidated, as we hear for the past 2 weeks.
As it is, the (smallish) town is empty, and it’s rubble, Ukraine is welcome to have it.
More good news today!
Russian MIG-31 crash in Belbek military airport, Crimea.

“do they still need the $12.3 billion in the Continuing Resolution bill from 2 days ago?”
Unfortunately yes. The initial 250K army that Russia launched its invasion with has been obliterated, but Putin is trying again and is building a new army to throw into the conflict.
The result won’t be any better for the Russians, but it will take a lot of RDX to send that second army back across the border.
Yup, all the way.
Pooty-Poot *really, really* doesn’t want to give up the Crimea, but the war in Ukraine won’t be over until the Russians are out.
But the war in Russia won’t be over until Putin’s corpse is lit on fire by an angry mob. That’s a commonplace ending of all leaders-for-life.
Ukraine’s counteroffensive, confirming it withdrew troops from the eastern town of Lyman, within the newly annexed Donetsk region.
Cool.
The additional $12.3 B will sure be welcome to poor little Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrup, Raytheon, GeneralDynamics,....
“Crimea airbase right now. LOL! Putin Stronk!”
You should see the pictures coming from Kiev on Telegram!
Highway of death, there are videos of groups of unorganized Russians fleeing across the countryside, comic as they are captured one by one
I'm guessing that this was an aborted takeoff. Would need overhead pictures to confirm.
Here’s the video:

Russia has what it wanted; the provinces of (the former) eastern ukraine. But I’ll play along - Ukraine winning!
One region at a time and the Ukes are mowing the orcs down. Whatcha gonna do, Poot? Start pulling grannies out of nursing homes and putting THEM on the front line?
A lot of Russians died trying to run away from Lyman.
Are those Russians laying in the road just taking a nap?
Ukraine is welcome to have it.
You are finally learning. The same will be true with Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Sevastopol. One by one the Russians will leave, or at least they will try to leave.
“I believe nothing in the press....especially coming out of the USA.”
Then you should travel to Russia, volunteer, and head to the front yourself. You won’t have to worry about media innaccuracies.
Maybe, but it would be smarter for the Ukrainians to let them withdraw than fight street-to-street. Especially without their arms or vehicles.

“You are finally learning. The same will be true with Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Sevastopol.”
I could be like Princess here and keep a record of your prediction, and then use it against you when Odessa is liberated...but then Putin doesn’t pay me as much as those 3-letter operations.
In any case, we’ll see if another 300,000+ Russian troops change things a bit.
