The daily “Russia is about to break through” story from Boris.
Then the next couple of days the frontline doesn’t budge and a “almost victory somewhere else” post emerges.meanwhile, in reality...
A month into Russia’s Donbas offensive, Moscow’s troops were still searching for a breakthrough. That may have finally arrived.
On May 18, Russian forces broke through Ukrainian lines west of the town of Popasna. Russia massed units there after capturing the town on May 8, preparing for a larger assault to drive into the open terrain to the west. Their primary objective appears to be cutting the highway leading from Bakhmut to the cities of Lysychansk and Severodonetsk, the last remaining Ukrainian outposts in Luhansk Oblast and the scene of fierce urban fighting for weeks.
The situation on the ground indicates they are close to achieving this goal and the coming week will be pivotal.

What analysis have they posted that turned out to be wrong? Their predictions have been mostly accurate so far.
The same can’t be said about the pro-Russia posts here like OP’s …

Exactly. They don’t report about any Russian advances or captures. Maybe they only say, “oh by the way, Russians have taken Popasna three days ago”.
