⬇️ — ChrisO (@ChrisO_wiki) September 17, 20222/ From @ian_matveev: Why was the Russian army defeated and forced to flee the Kharkiv region? 6/ To start with, I want to stop describing what invaded Ukraine and is still fighting on Putin's side as "the Russian army". 22/ To summarise: The Russian army in Ukraine is not a single mechanism, but several factions with their own commanders, control system and structure. As a result, during the AFU's attack, the Russian army found itself with a bare ass in the area. In the end, the territory for which the Russian army was holding on so tightly returned to Ukraine in just one week.
