Russian troops are moving within Ukraine by inertia and have not yet realized that they are dead.
Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to the chief of the President's Office, wrote about this on Facebook.
"Honestly, as a military man, I see no options for the Russian army in Ukraine. They are still following the inertia of orders, but only complete idiots can try to surround four large urban agglomerations (Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol, Mykolayiv) with 200,000 troops spread over a distance of 500 km, he is convinced. They will call up for reserves, scrounge up some troops in the Caucasus, and throw them here, without military coordination (no time) with old clunkers. There will be another attempt to "storm Kyiv", an attempt to cut Kharkiv and Sumy, to surround Mykolayiv, but this is all inertia. "According to him, Ukraine" is yet to shoot. "
"And it will be scary, and there will be more advance, and there will be another threat to Kyiv, and there will be more air and missile strikes, and there will be more of our deaths," Arestovych added. - But all this is a zombie attack - the inertia of the army of the dead. Russian troops are already following by inertia, they have not yet realized that they are dead."
The adviser to the chief of the Security Service has also added that "the sale of apartments has started dramatically" in Crimea, and the families of FSB officers were taken out of there urgently. This may indicate a disappointing forecast for the Russians about the war with Ukraine. We will remind, according to estimates of the General Staff, the enemy has considerably reduced rates of advance, its personnel is demoralized.
As of the morning of 8 March, Russia had already lost more than 12,000 troops, 303 tanks, 80 helicopters and 48 aircraft.
