Pentagon confirms ‘complete withdrawal’ of Russian troops

The US military said Russian forces cleared out of the Kiev region in what Moscow called a “good faith” measure
Pentagon confirms ‘complete withdrawal’ of Russian troops

Russian soldiers have “completely” vacated areas around the Ukrainian capital, Kiev and another city nearby, the Pentagon has said, following a pledge from the Kremlin to “drastically” reduce military activity in the region as negotiators attempt to bring an end to the fighting.

The Pentagon has observed a full withdrawal from the formerly besieged areas, a senior military official told reporters on Wednesday during a background briefing.

“We would assess that Russian forces near Kiev and Chernigov have completed their withdrawal from the area to re-consolidate and refit in Belarus and in Russia,” they said, adding, “We are not showing Russian forces in or around Kiev or to the north [of] Kiev, and we’re not showing Russian forces in or around Chernigov.”

The statement comes after Russia declared plans to significantly pull back its forces in the two cities late last month, saying it would be a show of good faith as peace talks brokered by Turkey inch forward. Days prior, the Russian military noted that it had achieved its main goals in the area and would shift the focus to the “liberation” of the Donbass regions in the east, which declared secession from the government in Kiev in 2014 and have since been recognized as independent by Moscow.

The withdrawal has been marred by controversy, with Ukrainian officials alleging that hundreds of civilians were k**led in the town of Bucha on the outskirts of Kiev before Russian soldiers left the area. Though Moscow has unequivocally denied the charge and requested a United Nations Security Council meeting to address the matter, Washington and some Western allies have taken Kiev’s side, with US President Joe Biden suggesting Russia may be responsible for “war crimes.”

Despite the accusations, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has insisted that his country would continue negotiations with Moscow, saying “Ukraine must find peace” after repeatedly expressing interest in direct talks with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

Spectators Furious After Biden's Incompetence Ruins America's #1 Golf Tournament for Them

The Masters golf tournament has long billed itself as “a tradition unlike any other,” and one would be hard-pressed to find a golf fan who disagrees with that assessment.

While there are many aspects of the Masters that make it special, one of the most important is dependability.

Whenever April rolls around, golf fans know they count on the hard-working employees at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, to provide an incredible experience. The azaleas are always in full bloom, and every blade of grass is meticulously manicured. The Masters p***es itself on providing as close to a perfect tournament as humanly possible.

Another thing fans can depend on when they set foot on the grounds at Augusta is the fact that the same affordable and delicious concessions will be available each year.

Among the most popular items on the annual Masters menu are pimento cheese, egg salad and chicken salad sandwiches. All of those options are available once again this week, but there is one notable absence from the menu.

According to Golf, the Masters will be unable to provide the coveted Georgia peach ice cream sandwich due to “supply chain issues.” Reporter James Colgan initially announced the news on Twitter.

Colgan explained that a young concessions worker broke the news to him during the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, which traditionally takes place the Saturday before the Masters.

“The girl tasked with delivering the message couldn’t have been older than 16, which was perhaps by design,” Colgan wrote. “Sixteen-year-olds don’t frequently incite r**ts.”

That may be an exaggeration, but not by much. People love the peach ice cream sandwich, as evidenced by the response Colgan heard from others when they got the news. They included “Oh my goodness, you’re kidding!” and “You’re not serious, right?”

“Without the ice cream sandwich, the Masters simply isn’t the Masters as we have come to know it,” Colgan lamented.

Twitter users mourned the loss as well, with some suggesting it would ruin the entire tournament.

GOP Lawmaker Accuses Biden Of 'Intentionally' Harming Country With Border Policy:

Seriously, are there any members of the OPP membership even attempt to refute what is being states in this video? If you think you can then you better have a very serious idea as to why not! It is so in our faces, that what is happening to the United States of America can only be deemed intentional. Do the individuals that are perpetrating this intentional harm think even for a moment that they will ever be forgiven or a get out of jail card? It really is amazing that those individuals think that at this very moment they will be able to walk down their own streets without some sort of confrontation? They better think again is all Im saying.

Just a comment as to making the Russian people to understand the Putin Genicide in The Ukrain.

How about NATO and the US suppling the Unkraine with long range ballistic missiles with conventional war heads and allow the Ukrainian people to launch these missiles into downtown Moscow and surrounding cities. This would wake up the Russian people and give these people an idea of what Putin is doing.

If Putin wants to commit genicide in Ukraine it’s time to wake up the Russian people.

I'll be 72 in July, my wife will be 70 in August. We both have COVT from years of smoking. She is in really bad health which I'm working with her to try to keep her strength up. We go out to eat almost every day, have never have and won't take the jab and avoid wearing a mast except where they are required for entrance.

If we were thinking we were sick whether with a bad cold, the flu or c***d we would both isolate ourselves from others just as we did when we were working, it's a respect for others. We don't believe that NOT getting the jab puts those who have at a risk but just the opposite.

If you have a problem with that, Tough! Mike
