Sadly, I was wrong when I thought Putin was withdrawing in a post I made on Tuesday.

I won't jump to conclusions like that again. The situation in Ukraine is as dark and dangerous
as ever. I can't pretend to know what Putin will do. I can only hope the slaughter of civilians
comes to an end soon.
I apologize for my false post, thinking the "withdrawal" was good news.

1. No worries. Most of the major news outlets got it wrong too

2. No need. Everyone knows Putin is a lying asshole

3. so much misinformation coming out of a region steeped in misinfo

...news about the state of the conflict makes most sense by looking at what our govt. and military are saying and weighing that against what we know about Putin's ruthlessness and Ukraine's vulnerability.

4. Classic fake-out/con.

5. We're all trying to figure this out

No need to apologize seriously we’re all human and we grab onto any hope we want to see the end of this slaughter in Ukraine.

And you have skin in the game I get you , hopefully will see regime change.

10. My son is still at Ft Campbell and also Yuma doing the HALO thing.

The majority of his group was already deployed when he got there.

6. Withdrawing from one area can amount to just shifting those troops to another

All the routes by which they'd shift lead back into Belarus or Russia so that they can be moved by rail to the eastern areas.

8. Never count on a man to withdraw!

Especially a pathological liar like Putin.

9. I always say: If you aren't making mistakes it just means

you aren't doing anything.
There is definite evidence of some withdrawals from around Kyiv but clearly not a complete withdrawal.
