> once again you vatniks try to derail the thread with something unrelated to what i said. i never made a comment about troop numbers just that there is verifiable evidence that russia currently occupies less of ukrainian territory than they did in 2022. i wasn't derailing jack shit. you claimed kikerain's claims are easily proven. no. as for kiev. russia pulled out of kiev as part of negotiations, retard. kharkiv was because the ukrainian army outnumbered russians 3-to-1 in late-2022. ukraine did meatwave assaults on kherson for like two weeks to pull russian troops away from kharkiv(on the opposite end of the frontlines). ukraine took the kharkiv area almost undefended. russia let them have it because russia knew there weren't enough men to defend it. as for kherson, russians pulled back after ukraine blew up their own bridges across the dnieper, and began shelling the dam(kakhovka, which eventually collapsed).
