Azov launched ground offensive and NAF was not allowed to shoot back out of gesture of good will.

Essentially nothing has changed at Shirokino and fighting continues. If VSN had withdrawn to create some "demiliarised zone" then ukrops would be claiming victory, but silence. What has caused confusion is simply words trying to put ukrops in a bad light, but the words do not match the situation on the ground. There is an odd propaganda war occuring about Shirokino with some curious claims about deliberate lack of artillery support etc, but it's all words.Neutrality wrote:What's up with the NAF pulling out their men in Shirokino?

Don't know how true it is but Shirokino is still being shot by the orcs as of an hour ago.

Running cars on wood is not a bad idea, as it's renewable. Probably need some up to day 21st century device to do it, not from the 2nd world war vintage.

It was said in some report recently that Shironkino will be a demilitarized zone... wether if that was on mutual agreement through OSCE don't know.. but apparently it seems a mutual agreement was achieved in that place of both sides to retreat.
It will take several years of work and a nationwide referendum for Ukraine to meet the minimum standards required to join the NATO military alliance, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Tuesday.
Poroshenko personally supports Ukraine’s entry into NATO. He said, “There is no other system in the world but NATO that is capable of ensuring security.”

Maybe forbes is pulling a "russia will be defeated in x amount of weeks" like in Georgia, where the western media was wrong.
Forbes just sank to the lowest it could go.

Me too, dude has been hitting the hard stuff
Although when you think about it, this might be the good way of selling any compromise that might be not so awesome for Kiev.
This way they can say ''we had to stop Ukrainians from winning and had to make a deal with Russians otherwise crazy Putin would nuke everyone!!!''
Maybe they are laying groundwork for ''dignified'' ( ) retreat...

Some confusion may be result of the announcement of intention to withdraw being understood as a withdrawl that has already taken place, when the reality may be that the forces have not yet moved. IMO you never announce an intention to withdraw when you are in combat, even low level, and announce the withdrawl only when it has taken place. I am beginning to think that a cock-up has occured and we have what is now clearly an embarrasing debacle about Shirokino that gives propaganda to ukrops. There is a split in opinion, from side of Novorossiya, about this. Some say that it is simply to show that VSN are not the guilty party and that it is ukrops who want to break Minsk, and this is of course a fact. Others say that the ground at Shirokino is not suitable for defence as it is overlooked by hills and it is necessary to withdraw to better ground to save lives. These are the views from the side "cunning plan". From the side "Putin drained" it is pointed out that why only now withdraw from Shirokino if the ground is bad, why not months ago. Why withdraw to show "good intentions" when the outside world does not know, and if it did, will not give a shit. Also, if Shirokino is given up, then in order to show we are the good guys and want to save lives, why not give up Gorlovka, Donetsk, Lugansk, everything. If Shirokino is given up to save lives, then that argument is also valid for saying that Leningrad, Stalingrad and Voronezh should have been given up. Ukrops see all this nonsense happening in the networks and laugh. This should have been forecast and better thought given to any withdrawl from Shirokino, if it has actually happened, and it is still not 100% clear. Whatever the reasons for this heap of shit, it had better be part of "cunning plan" or some heads should roll.
