I'm sure you can provide evidence of this 'retreating'? everything i've seen is that after a week of this much vaunted 'Great Counter Offensive', all they have to show is 20% of their armour blown up and countless soldiers dead/wounded.
Let's see what two of the biggest pro Ukrainian Telegram groups with nearly one million followers each has to say:

I wonder how some of the propaganda Western rags are trying to spin it, here's Clown News Network first.
Oh dear, they're actually telling a small piece of truth, outrageous!!
Let's try Forbes:
While it might be disturbing for advocates of a free Ukraine to watch as Ukrainian brigades lose much of their best and rarest equipment, it shouldn’t be surprising.

Surely your 'go to accurate source' the Telegraph will calm your nerves:
New satellite images reveal the array of minefields, anti-tank ditches and trenches lying ahead of Ukrainian troops
www.telegraph.co.uk
It's okay guys, two days before that article the Telegraph was doing it's usual gibberish with this article by a 'former tank commander' dimwit.
As a former tank commander, I know the Challenger 2 vastly outmatches what’s left of Russia’s armour
www.telegraph.co.uk
Phew, the Brits will rush in to save the day with Challenger tanks to 'sweep Putin's conscripts aside'...apart from the fact the Russian "conscripts" are all reservists called back up and did refresher courses.
I guess after 17 months or so of slurping up the spoon fed Western propaganda of Russia is running out of missiles, tanks, ammo, men, eating cat food, forcibly using terrified 'greenhorn' conscripts, stealing microchips from washing machines, according to Ursula Van Der Liar...the list goes on, reality is kicking in.
The first warning sign for the brain dead should have been when a PMC of convicts and criminals. led by an ex cook, wiped out 72,000 plus AFU soldiers and liberated Bakhmut, funny how that story suddenly got dropped.
So after the first week, the AFU are still in what is called the 'Security zone', they haven't even reached the first line of at least three defence lines yet, they have another 10-15km to even reach defence line one.
New Atlas can explain it better:
Meanwhile, just for you Swany as you were boasting a few weeks back telling us all how the Bradleys and Leopards were the big game changers, this time, and were going to have the Russians running away in terror, how's that going for you?
In case you missed what was what:

After seeing numerous videos of KA-52 Alligators hovering barely 10km and having a turkey shoot, it's not surprising, only US/NATO dimwits who never experienced an actual war against an equal peer and only fought guys in robes wearing sandals and carrying AK-57swould insist on Begginsky sending his troops in to be slaughtered with no air support or air defence
No wonder Begginsky and his "war team" look so cheerful in their situation room, as the tweet asked 'where's Zaluzhny and Budanov? (Zaluzhny taken out by Wagner in early May, Budanove taken out by Kinzhal strike on the Ukraine Intelligence HQ in Kiev a few weeks back)
Or maybe Begginsky just watched Tucker Carlson's very first Twitter show that has now amassed nearly
115 million views and where Tucker describes him perfectly.
