To Those Who Still Think ...

 ... that Russians are blind, naive and stupid. Especially against "plans" and ruses kindergarten child can see through. 

Zelensky’s election call a ploy – Putin aide. Kiev only wants a ceasefire, which Moscow believes it will use to rearm and regroup its military

Liberation of Seversk opened the road to Slovyansk and, in a classic 404 and its curators' manner, these idiots unleash ... PR "offensive" at ... Kupyansk. Well, here are some views of this PR "offensive" (I mean it--it is PR) aka (in Russia) "meat storms". 

A bunch of terrorists is thrown into the meat grinder and traditionally are killed and maimed. 

And here is the issue with what many people still cannot grasp--SMO exposed completely a massive circle of the "experts" both in Russia and the West who lived on 404 propaganda. They range from "military" shysters such as Rybar in Russia to American Generals such as Kellogg and Keane, among many others who discredited themselves not only as military amateurs but people without honor. So, what's left for them after such a manifestation of own malfeasance and stupidity? Of course to double, triple down on the BS avoiding as much as possible reality on the ground and not explaining the difference between the attack in platoon to company's strength (which is a maneuver and preceded by "movement to contact") and offensive which, hey I use only US sources, per US Army ADP FM 3-90 must have such characteristics:

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OFFENSE 3-2. Successful offenses share these characteristics: 1. Audacity. 2. Concentration. 3. Surprise. 4. Tempo. See ADP 3-90 for more information on the purposes and characteristics of the offense.

So, as you can see yourself--those suicidal "offensives" lack pp. 2, 3 and 4, and result in getting own forces into the fire cauldron and their annihilation. But as I noted, most what Western "military thought" afforded us is PR and BS. Reality, however, is traditional--all attacks have been repelled with massive casualties to 404 terrorists. Here is today's map of Kupyansk. 

This is everything you need to know.
