It’s Possible The Russian Army Is Tricking The Ukrainian Army With A Fake Offensive

1. Possible. They didn’t take Kharkiv at the start of the war whilst at their full strength, now they are confident to take it with 50,000 men?

   They struggled to take Avidiivka with 40,000 men, sure they captured it but now with more ammunition flying in it wont happen imo. They will take some ground and that’s it

2. Possibly, but Ukraine has intel that the US is willing to share, so we’re guessing on reddit and Sirskiy is deciding.

3. and kyiv was just a feint, too.

   see, the russians are very sly and very cunning. and they know ukraine will only fall for these masterful 4d 200iq diversionary actions, if there is alot of evidence of hundreds of mobiks being slaughtered and dozens of vehicles lost in just the first day.

4. Of course it’s a diversionary attack. They have nowhere the numbers needed to take Kharkiv. This is either some attempt at diverting resources from Donbas or another propaganda piece for the masses.

5. Probably. Because their priority task to reach Donbass oblast borders. So actual war zone is eastern Ukraine.

6. Either way they are clearly reverting back to human wave tactics. Hopefully French divisions arrive soon

7. Fake a go b? Is Russia in my valorant queue?

8. I take issue with the word ‘fake’. Civilians are dying in new ways on a relatively new front, changing the level of safety that civilians had been experiencing in previous months.

   The russians might not be pouring all their resources into it, but it’s still something Ukraine has to respond to. If left inadequately protected, russia would exploit this and see how deep they can go.

9. Ukraine has acc3ss to other intel sources such as western satellite surveillance so they probably have a decent idea where the real build ups and such are for offensive but it’s a matter of manpower and material. Ukrain has to be more conservative in their use. Russia doesn’t care and will throw away both
