So what is the truth, WNU, is their an encirclement or not.
Looks like the Ukrainian troops are getting a lot "help" from the rebels in organizing the retreat.
WNU Editor,
Censor.net is reporting that Porshenko announced that 2,475 troops and 200 vehicles were withdrawn from Debaltseve with only minor casualties,
That leaves between 4,525 to 6,525 and between 200 and 600 vehicles missing, from prior claims of who had what where.
