Putinists only had about 48 hours to pretend like things were going their way and then all the bad news picks up pace again as usual because of how shitty and incompetent Russian forces are.
This includes in that aggressive push with concentrated forces on that city in Luhansk, where apparently the Russians no longer have the armor to attempt to encircle the city, and intercepted communications apparently shows Russians so afraid to send armor out that they’re leaving wounded Russkies to die.
Sucks to suck.
