lol...So, some alleged Russians fear an Ukrainian offensive that the Pentagon says is doomed to failure:

“Labeled ‘top secret,’ the bleak assessment from early February warns of significant ‘force generation and sustainment shortfalls,’ and the likelihood that such an operation will result in only ‘modest territorial gains.’ It’s a marked departure from the Biden administration’s public statements about the vitality of Ukraine’s military and is likely to embolden critics who feel the United States and NATO should do more to push for a negotiated settlement to the conflict.

[…] It has revealed, for instance, where American officials have detected critical weaknesses in Ukraine’s air defenses and access to ammunition while exposing considerable deficiencies within the Russian military, too. Many of the assessments date to February and March.

The document forecasting only modest success in Ukraine’s forthcoming counteroffensive indicates that Kyiv’s strategy revolves around reclaiming contested areas in the east while pushing south in a bid to sever Russia’s land bridge to Crimea.”

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see whether a selectively leaked document, that has been found to have been edited to flip-flop Russian/Ukrainian losses, or the Russians themselves, are right about what’s coming. The offensive is imminent. Just waiting on the ground to finish drying.

Kazan “lol...So, some alleged Russians”

So are you saying that real Russians like yourself living in the Russian city of Kazan, aren’t afraid yet?
