oh this is fantastic - well written and informed.
SO the reason the West thought Ukraine was dead meat was that General Zaluzhny had all these plans for defending the country but didn't want to tell anyone anything, including the political leadership of his own country, in case the Russians got a hold of it.
"we didn't want to lose the element of surprise" said Zaluzhny
I'm sorry but what an absolute legend

ok I knew Kyrylo Budanov, the competent chief of military intelligence, was some kind of internet meme deity but. besties I have to admit. deciding on a whim that you're going to tag along with the most elite special forces brigade in the Ukrainian army to help storm and liberate a small village while the Russians are literally lobbing cruise missiles at your office is officially the most legendary thing I've heard
