It'll buff out.

Meanwhile, the windows claim another victim:

Vladimir Egorov, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was found dead on Wednesday, according to Russian state media.

Tobolsk City Duma deputy Egorov, 46, a member of Putin's ruling United Russia party, fell from the third-floor window of a house on Kedrovaya Street in Tobolsk in the Tyumen Oblast, Russian Telegram channel Baza, which has links to Russian security services, reported.

Russian daily newspaper Izvestia also cited a source as saying that Egorov could have fallen out of a third-floor window.

It is the latest in a series of mysterious deaths involving prominent Russian figures since President Vladimir Putin's forces invaded Ukraine last February.

Russian publication 72.ru cited one eyewitness as saying that Egorov fell from a third-floor window, and another as saying that he had "heart problems." It said an autopsy will be carried out to establish the cause of death.

I believe the Ukrainian General Commander announced the withdrawal as there was nothing left to defend anymore.

Doesn't that apply to every destroyed former settlement near the frontline?

 

[GrauGeist]

If the village/town is not strategic, then it makes no sense to hold it any longer.

It appears that Ukraine is also using these flashpoint locations as killing zones since Russia has this fatal obsession with clinging to a position regardless of how many men and machines it costs them.

 

[Denniss]

Exactly. And if there's nothing to hide for the killing teams its better to leave and defend the next settlement.

A massive missile/drone strike overnight with 100+ missiles.
Not all were shot down and something went astray over Poland.
Multiple civilian deaths reported.
That's all the russians are able to do - target and kill/hurt civilians.
They seem to be afraid to move their ships closer to Ukraine - no naval missile launches reported. All air/ground launched.
