Broken tanks scattered throughout the residential area, and a procession of soldiers moving somewhere.



This is a video related to the retreat of the Russian army posted on social media.



In the meantime, the West estimates that 7,000 Russian soldiers were killed and 20,000 wounded, losing a third of their troops.



There is also an analysis that the Russian military will not be able to continue the war in the near future as the supply deteriorated.



The U.S. War Institute estimates that Ukrainian forces have repulsed the initial Russian attack and are already at a deadlock.



It is analyzed that the Russian military's hypersonic missile attack is also intended to break the deadlock.

The situation has not been achieved as quickly as Putin's plan.]



Ukrainian President Zelensky said the war would not be over without negotiations with Russian President Putin, and said he was ready to negotiate.



He feared that the war would become World War III if the negotiations eventually failed.



[Volodimir Zelensky/President of Ukraine: I think we should take any form or any opportunity to secure the possibility of negotiating with Putin.]



The day after tomorrow (23rd), President Biden went to Europe for the first time since the invasion of Russia, with NATO and the EU. We plan to attend the summit one after another to discuss countermeasures against the Ukraine crisis.



He also agreed to visit Poland, which borders Ukraine, to show his support for Ukraine.
