Reminder that by even Ukrain's losses(asset losses, not talking about casualties), and wikipedia's road cope estimate of territory gains Russia's invasion is on par with any other rapid invasion in recent history. This also includes Russia's advance slowing down several times due to ceasefires for negotiations. If you use more reasonable estimates for losses and actual gains not roadcope they've outperformed everyone. You don't have to believe a single Russian MoD or shill claim to verify this.
Any "military expert" that comes out calling this operation a "disaster" because of a couple downed aircraft and vehicles very clearly doesn't understand aggressive maneuver warfare or military operations in general. This is at worst an average performance.
Member of the Ukrainian negotiation team Denis Kiriyev is shot and killed by Ukrainian security service SBU who claimed he was a traitor feeding information to the Russians.
Shocking enough, but In a plot twist, Ukraine's Ministry of Defence now says Kiriyev was a military intelligence (GUR) officer who died a hero in the line of duty, implying it was the SBU agents who were dirty.
