Other commenter is correct, I’d add that I read from TASS that unfortunately Russian planners did not properly keep Ukraine occupied. Basically the Russians rolled up and set their lines up but didn’t try to harass the Ukranians too much. This let the Ukranians reform and of course resupply with NATO before launching this massive counter offensive.
From what I understand Russia knew a counter offensive was coming and that they were vulnerable due to lack of troops, but stood the line anyways because it was either that or retreat real early on in the conflict. A lot of NATARDs are taking this as a sign of weakness, and it is unfortunate Russia has been hampered so much. It’s still very early on in the war so Z boys “turning point” comment is a bit out there.
