They haven’t worked out how to spin this yet. The usual “everything is going to plan” seems a touch inadequate. Maybe another gesture of goodwill? What must really be galling for the orcs, seeing the populations of the liberated villages and towns, greeting the Ukrainian military like heroes.
A huge gesture of goodwill. I’m sure the final gesture of goodwill is Putin waving goodbye to Crimea from the Kerch bridge.
Glad to see dumitry pestcough at a loss for words. 😎

There is already images of Ukrainian troops at the Izium city limits. There must be total panic and chaos in the orc’s rank.
