Officials say Russian forces withdrew so quickly from northern Ukraine that they left behind weapons and vehicles, suggesting morale had collapsed to the point of deserting some.
According to the Ministry of Defense, all the troops left the north of the country and went to Belarus or Russia.
They believe that the depleted forces will be regrouped across the border before they are deployed to eastern Ukraine, where the force is being reinforced.
However, the nature of the withdrawal indicated that it was not done in time, and that “willingness to fight” had waned, according to Western officials.
“We can confirm that Russian units in northern Ukraine no longer exist,” a Western official said.
“But what is clear, is that the Russian forces withdrew quickly, and there was a lot of Russian equipment.”
“When they remove troops to Belarus and Russia, this will only make them bypass the impasse they are facing in terms of renovation and rebuilding.”
Officials made sure that when the troops withdrew, they left a mix of tanks, fighting vehicles inside, and artillery.
They asked, “It’s Uncle why they were missed, because some of these compounds can still be used.” “There is something about losing the will to fight and losing the soul.”
“I think we saw some burglaries in Discipline,” which resulted in them escaping beyond back in good shape across Belarus and the border pretty much, which is why they took some of that gear. “
“You have to consider the psychological effects on those forces well.” Presumably, this was the elite of the Russian combat troops that were defeated in the first 40 days of the battle. They are grouped and reintroduced to combat it.”
The VDV, or Airborne Forces, is continuing to build in the Donbass region of eastern Russia, with troops joining “a very large number of their vehicles being prepared for operations.”
Officials said it was “entirely possible” that President Putin directed the troops to move quickly because he wanted to make more progress by May 9, Russia’s Victory Day.
