Thanks, Goose. I appreciate your thoughts. It’s certainly plausible and certainly more plausible than my hypothesis.

By the way, the Russians blew up all three bridges across the Donets river from Sieverodonetsk. I guess the goal is to trap the Ukrainian troops and civilians in the city as they reduce it to rubble, and I imagine they presumed that if they didn’t do it, the Ukrainians upon their retreat.

Still, it does make the capture of the remaining portions of Sieverodonetsk tougher since retreat is not going to be an option, and I’m guessing after Mariupol, neither will surrender.
