Appreciate this more nuanced amd objective take.

"Russia has provided no evidence that any such operation was in the making."

-- Strawman, a slow process of border shifting is Russia's claim

Putin has offered no proof to back his repeated claims that radical, ultranationalist groups in Ukraine influence Zelenskyy and have a decisive voice in shaping the country’s policies

-- when your national heros are nazis 🤷‍♂️

Kremlin clearly was forced to retreat due to heavy losses and logistical problems while trying to capture the Ukrainian capital.

-- there was no "clearly" in that early fog of war lol
