Russia’s ‘repositioning’ is 💯💩. They flat-out lost the #BattleofKiev and the bulk of their most elite VDV & SpetNaz units destroyed near Irpin (& Hostumel). They retreat in ruin leaving bodies & gear behind.
Let’s not allow FSB spin to diminish Ukraine’s vital victory.

Especially NW of Kiev where RUS deployed their most elite units, the UAF defense was extraordinary. Also the interdiction and destruction of that eastern thrust (the ‘column’). Holding Sumy & Chernaiv. All this after late repositioning when RUS used Belorussian territory.
The RUS goal from the start was to decapitate and replace Ukraines govt, then encircle Kiev to compel surrender. Both gambits have failed utterly due to the bravery of Ukrainian arms (& support from abroad). This is not a repositioning. This is a historic military victory.
