The Russians had only planned for a short decapitation attack. The press releases for a capitulation of the government after a few days had already been written and became known through a technical glitch.

More Western propaganda. Are you talking about that "independent" "Russian" news source which lost its operating license after publishing this shit? Western funded and Western operated.
that are weird coping mechanisms. Even only relying on official Russian approved sources those are telling a story of defeat.
Really please stop with these bot accusations. FYI you literally only post in this thread, and you made your account in 2014... This is SDF, not UDF/RDF. I think even the ardent pro Ukrainians here are being pretty reasonable rather than just throwing accusations of bots whenever their side is not having a good day on the front.
I really see no reason why someone would be using bots on a website to influence a couple hundred daily users across the world. A couple hundred people who already made their ground on which side to back since long before it started. This is a niche site in the corner.
So, my question now is, where did Ukraine pull this force from? They couldn't have achieved this deep thrust in two directions without committing at least 20k+ men into the offensive, we've all heard previously how hard the Russian artillery was hitting the Ukrainian positions and that their best troops are being turned into meat paste through long range suppression. To operate at this speed and ferocity does not seem like the conduct of a poorly trained TDF, but rather well drilled mechanized troops. It's actually interesting that Ukraine was able to pull such a force out of a magic hat even as their entire front is getting pounded by artillery daily for the last few months.
Pretty sure it was 15,000.
Maybe all those Russian claims were bullshit. There is no way for Russian to actually confirm anything like all those killed brigades.
People were also posting ABM stuff who once claimed Ukraine was defeated within hours and other unhinged sources - shouldn’t we have learned not to believe a single thing from those sources.
