In response to the information wave about the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army, anonymous telegram channels, citing their Kremlin source, write: the Russians do not go on the offensive not because of a lack of forces or a tactical situation, but according to their strategy. It allegedly consists in building a “wall” through which Ukrainian forces will suffer losses and not advance far. Allegedly, now the Russian army has chosen a plan "B", different from the situation in Sievierodonetsk, which the correspondent of the telegram channel called a "meat grinder". The point is that the current strategy will force the Ukrainian army to suffer numerous losses and show them to society.

In all likelihood, this message fits into the communication concept of the Russian Federation from the beginning of a full-scale offensive - supposedly "everything is going according to plan." Imagine, at first they planned to “demilitarize” Ukraine in a few days, then until May 9 and then until the end of the summer.
