Reply to comment by canadatrasher in Russia ends civilian pull-out before Kherson battle by HairySquid68

Calm down man.

You are screaming about things nobody, not even Ukraine, dispute. There are movies and photos of civilian cars with civilians of all ages and sexes crossing the rivier. Why do you think Ukraine call them forced deportions if they are not happening? There is no reason for Russia to say they've stopped if they haven't since that makes their military more vulnerable when crossing the river.

And everybody expects there to be some kind of battle for Kherson, whether it will be a slow siege or an attempt to cut it off from the rest of the Russian forces or a direct assault.

Ohh, so it may be a deportation not an evacuation?

So now you agree that the article simply uncritically repeated Russian propaganda in the headline?

cool cool.

Russia LIES. All the time. Russia employs "firehose of falsehood" techniques constantly. "There is no reason for Russia to lie" is a position of naivete indicating that someone learned nothing over last 8 months.

I have zero reason to think that forced deportations stopped just because Russia says so.

>nd everybody expects there to be some kind of battle for Kherson

How do you know know that? It's not a fact. E.g. Russia can always chose to withdraw as they did in many other areas.

Presenting the battle as a fact is irresponsible.

Headline is trash here and you know it.
