Abattoir is just the french word for slaughterhouse, and it means the exact same thing. But point taken.

- Ukrainian forces fighting inside Russia are almost surrounded, open source maps show. Given that these maps always lag in showing Russian gains, that means these troops are already surrounded. · 40 points · 7 comments

The article says there's a narrow corridor which is about 0.5-1 km wide. This means the Ukrainians are in operational encirclement.
Russians usually leave a small corridor open like this, because they've observed that Ukrainian high command dislikes retreating and insists on sending reinforcements and supplies, as they order units to hold to the last man. At the same time, they try to sneak out heavy equipment and elite units. Both resupplies and shuffling of troops/equipment along this narrow path are usually easy targets for UAVs, missiles and air strikes. That's when they inflict the highest losses. This also softens the units caught in the pocket and makes capturing them easier and less dangerous.

WTF?
It also angers me at the end where the owner feigns ignorance, when clearly this culture permeated the whole abattoir. This wasn't one or two workers being sadistic. At that scale, it was everybody.

Some NATO officials should stick to avoiding nuclear holocaust over some theoretical pissing contest.
