It’s obvious that they just chickened out after some phone calls were made. Pathetic, but not surprising in a country where the press refuses to report the most basic facts about the war, like the fact that Ukraine is shelling the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. You don’t shell the power plant you’re occupying , nor do you blow up the pipeline you have spent billions to construct, especially when it helps link you to Germany (something the US always hated).
