The only job the Russians have is to get out of Ukraine. That's it. Leave or suffer an economic implosion at home while young Russian men are bleeding out on a foreign land. Or burning to death in their crappy tanks. The lucky ones get blown up or shot in the head for a quick death. They will never stop getting shot at while they occupy and plunder a foreign land.
Dig a little on the internet. You can find some videos of ungodly things happening on both sides. All this blood is on Putin's hands.
GET OUT OR DIE!
The only reason why Russian soldiers gets slaughtered right now instead of going home, is because Putin does not want to lose face. It's a matter of pride. Imagine being killed for no other reason that this psychopath's pride.

Russia is no factor in international matters since 1989 and the end of USSR. They know China stole the economy and now their last chance is guns, if they lose this one too it's just a country known for highway fights and oil (again for as long as modern times are concerned).

I hope the Russian trolls around here get drafted to die in Ukraine.

There are colonizers (Russians) and there are colonized (Ukrainians). Russian colonizers have been using Ukrainians as cannon fodder and work force to advance Russian imperial agenda for the past 350 years while trying to destroy Ukrainians as self-aware people.
Just read the wikipedia page on Ukraine or Galicia. Any source!
The Tatars or Mongols captured more Ukrainians for cannon fodder than the Russians.
Quote:
The borderlands suffered annual Tatar invasions. From the beginning of the 16th century until the end of the 17th century, Crimean Tatar slave raiding bands. took about two million slaves from Russia and Ukraine.
According to Orest Subtelny, "from 1450 to 1586, eighty-six Tatar raids were recorded, and from 1600 to 1647, seventy." In 1688, Tatars captured a record number of 60,000 Ukrainians.
The Tatar raids took a heavy toll, discouraging settlement in more southerly regions where the soil was better and the growing season was longer. The last remnant of the Crimean Khanate was finally conquered by the Russian Empire in 1783.
By 1392 the Galicia–Volhynia Wars had ended and Ruthenia ceased to exist as an independent entity, with its lands partitioned between Poland and Lithuania
In 1772 with the partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the south-eastern part of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was awarded to the Habsburg Empress Maria-Theresa, whose bureaucrats named it the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, after one of the titles of the princes of Hungary, although its borders coincided but roughly with those of the former medieval principality. Known informally as Galicia, it became the largest, most populous, and northernmost province of the Austrian Empire, while after 1867 part of the Austrian half of Austria-Hungary, until the dissolution of the monarchy at the end of World War I in 1918, when it ceased to exist as a geographic entity.
Turns out the Russian-proposed evacuation route out of Kharkiv into Russia goes through the middle of a very effective Ukrainian defensive line between north Kharkiv and the Russia border. That has to be problematic. Certainly Ukrainian armed forces cannot temporarily open then hope to regain their positions.
But then putting civilians between two forces under a temporary cease fire is also problematic. Cease fires repeatedly fall apart when one 'actor' overreacts either through misunderstanding or deliberately which sets off a chain reaction.
It is the Russians who have apparently encircled Kharkiv presumably also from the south and west. Why cannot they simply allow the civilians to pass? Refugees had been pouring west from Kharkiv into Kiev, although at this time routes would have to be altered to avoid that siege.
This: but it's shorter to the Russian border isn't convincing.

Evacuation of civilians and delivery of humanitarian aid went ahead today!
There is a cease fire established until 6 PM!
