Excellent analysis today concerning tactical withdrawals, which are usually missed by most commentators, and indeed relatively hard to spot.
Your adventure into guess work, concerning a withdrawal form kharkov including a lure of Ukranian troops in order to further contain them (which includes monitoring enhanced Ukranian activity all the way from supply lines), is excellent . Spot on man!
Conducting PR war may be less than fruitful, in a failure to conducting actual war with purpose with force and negotiation.
Put the case that you are part of a military group which has committed atrocities against another group of people. Furthermore, allies of the group you brutalized are in a position to bring you up on charges, the results of which you will probably spend years and years in prison at the mercy of members of the group you brutalized. In addition, you might have a very slight chance of escaping the future outlined above by continuing to fight although you will probably die in combat. What would you do?
See WWII. The fight becomes more ferocious and escape less likely. This is existential for Russia so every atrocity is motivation as it was for the USSR against Germany.
