Ukraine's Defense Ministry shared a quote from abolitionist and journalist William Lloyd Garrison that read:
"With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments..."

The Russians conducted a fairly successful rearguard action, I think. The had no real option otherwise, given the threat the Ukrainians posed to Sevastopol and its big naval base. This was probably the best of a bad suite of options available to them.

The only thing I've seen about it was it was docked sideways to a pier (everybody else was docked by the stern) after the attack. The Theory was it was done to hide the damage. That's all. IMHO if there really was no damage they would have been showing it off as being undamaged.

I am encouraged by Ukraine's military commanders viewing the evacuation of Kherson as a trap/ruse.
And I still suspect that Ukraine will strike in force elsewhere, especially now, since Russia has made a big deal about leaving Kherson.
