Headline is confusing. At first I thought this guy was retreating
Looks like they were routed, that does not look like an orderly retreat. They don’t even have any vehicles, too
What is with the music on some of these videos.

I think it’s a NAFO thing, basically an online community fighting back against misinformation and the Russian war machine with memes. There might be federated examples over at #NAFO.
I guess making things appear more light-hearted makes it more likely to spread further across the Internet, thereby being a more efficient weapon against trolls and online misinformation than dry, factual statements. I still struggle a bit with the whole concept, but at the end of the day I guess it’s how the Internet works and it’s good that Ukraine and its supporters is using it efficiently.
I guess that makes some sort of sense. If someone wants the dry stuff they can go to a news site, but the meme stuff spreads better.
But man it is WEIRD/Disconcerting to see so much combat footage turned into like music videos.
