Russian Troops Retreating 'Quickly' in
North In northern Ukraine, Russian units appear to be retreating more hastily than expected. At least the Ukrainian government reported that it was observing a "rapid retreat" of Russian forces. The attackers would fall back in the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions, said Mikhailo Podoliak, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In the Kyiv suburbs, the Ukrainian defenders had made significant progress in recent days and were able to push back the attackers. Apparently the Russian leadership is now regrouping its troops. Moscow wants to " retreat its units to the east and south and retain control of large occupied areas there".
Earlier in the week, following talks in Istanbul, Russia pledged to scale back attacks on Kyiv and Chernihiv, presenting it as a concession in negotiations with Ukraine. Shortly thereafter, however, Ukrainian and Western representatives denounced that this was just a deception. However, the retreat is not a sign that the war could end soon. Because at the same time the attacks in southern Ukraine are apparently intensified. Heavy bombardments have been reported since Friday evening in the east from Kharkiv and smaller towns and places in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, from the south in the Kherson region and several places in the center of the country.

In the north in particular, the Russian army had difficulties in supplying its units with sufficient supplies. The attacks there had been stopped early and made little progress for a long time. In the south, on the other hand, Russia had conquered large regions and now seems to want to hold them. It is possible that the war aims have now changed in view of the tough resistance from Ukraine. Moscow seems to be trying to secure the conquests made in the south around Crimea and Donbass and keep the regions permanently occupied. Ukraine now needs "heavy weapons" to advance into occupied areas in these regions "and push back the Russians as far as possible," Podoliak said. Several states have already pledged.

The fear of the atomic bomb is back
The Russian attack on Ukraine triggered a fear in many people that – depending on the generation – they had long suppressed or had never felt before: the fear of a nuclear war. In the past century, the world narrowly escaped the nuclear apocalypse several times. 30 years ago Russia and the USA agreed on disarmament, the number of nuclear warheads fell massively.

Despite the war, many Ukrainians are apparently returning to their homeland from abroad. In the western Ukrainian metropolis of Lviv alone, 19,000 people crossed the border within 24 hours, local military chief Maxim Kosyzkyj wrote on Facebook.
