I get that there is disinformation out there but all information out there is not totally false. So what are your rock solid go to places for the truth. What I see is the Russians have been “tactically withdrawing “ from territorial gains they made earlier, equipment losses appear substantial, their overwhelming advantage in aircraft does not seem to have resulted in air supremacy, their overwhelming advantage in arty seems to have become less of a factor. Things like mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops when they had a military substantially larger than Ukrainians and staging referendums at this point in the operation are not signs of success or “winning”
The glorious Russian soldiers are not withdrawing, but making a good will gesture to the vile Ukrainians who are all in the pocket of various nefarious wealthy and powerful people who force them to fight against their wills.
The best, the most truthful, the most honest, the most impartial, the most insightful sources for what is really happening are Moon over Alabama, Tass, Izvestia, any source that has the .ru extension - as well as various Russian Telegram and Twitter accounts.
Do not believe those supporters of the wealth and powerful on FR that tell you the Russian army actually had fewer professional troops that Ukraine at the start; that the advanced missiles were mostly duds; that there was little to no maintenance done of equipment after leaving the factory, that the Russian officer corp steals most of the funds allocated; that someone stole 1.5 million military uniforms; that the glorious air force was mostly obsolete and used as artillery; that Combined Arms in the Russian military is something that happens went the troops dance in celebration of new shipments of vodka, and stuff like that.
