11. Important to remember. The UAF considered (as many did) that the Russian main effort would initially be aimed at destroying Ukraine's ability to wage war in the Donbass.

@MikkoLaaksonen1:
25/x First, an assessment of #Russian forces north of #Kyiv concluded that they lacked sufficient troops to effectively isolate and seize the city. The offensive was therefore viewed as a diversionary deployment, aimed at drawing and fixing #Ukrainian forces away from #Donbas.

12. I Heard of cases of reserve units deploying to Sumy in private cars + arriving just in time.
Despite some obvious failings its still amazing how UAF organised/positioned some kind of defence in huge area of Chernihiv + Sumy considering this 7-hours.

@MikkoLaaksonen1:
28/x As #Gomel and #Chernihiv attacks became apparent, #Ukraine forces were ordered to redeploy 7 hours prior to invasion. Many units were not at assigned or prepared positions, fever troops to hold coast. #Ukrainian units found themselves in a
meeting engagement with the enemy.

29/x #Russia had the initiative at the operational level, but with tactical units surprised by what
they were ordered to do. #Ukraine was surprised at the operational level but with tactical units which had been preparing for this fight for eight years. Decided the 72 first hours

14. Interesting. And sloppy.
-----------
@MikkoLaaksonen1:
31/x "Many strikes were struck that had not been
military positions for years." "against moving targets, new detections would apparently
be added to the target list, without removing the previous reported location, so that dynamic
strikes were often delivered too late."

15. Probably Russians fitting their assessments to their propaganda again and to 2014 events. Anyone who spent any time following or talking to UAF officers could have concluded that morale and resilience was generally high. This should have been obvious.

@MikkoLaaksonen1:
34/x #Ukraine officers were messaged in psyops "on the second day of the invasion, #Putin publicly appealed to the Ukrainian military to not resist the #Russian invasion. This failed campaign also highlights the poor assessment of the psychology of the Ukrainian military"
