According to the minds of the thieves, it's time to run away from the city at breakneck speed - ideally yesterday and in any case right now, because every next day of delay with this decision promises to cost extra big losses. In fact, it seems that they are going to sit to the last, first until the city is completely surrounded, and then until its natural outcome.

We observe and hope that the enemy will not let us down with these decisions, as it has not let us down for so many months.
