#1 ISW 7/29/2023
Prominent Russian milbloggers have been increasingly presenting Ukrainian counteroffensive operations inaccurately as a series of failed Ukrainian assaults along the entire line of contact.[1] Russian milbloggers widely amplified footage on July 29 claiming that it showed a single Russian tank defeating an entire Ukrainian company with armored vehicles as if the event had occurred recently, but the footage is actually from June 7 and shows Russian artillery units striking the Ukrainian column.[2] Russian sources have previously recirculated old footage to support claims that Ukrainian forces are suffering significant armored vehicle losses, and the amplification of the footage on July 29 indicates that Russian sources are deliberately amplifying old footage to support the Kremlin narrative.

#2 Nothing new, Western media and Ukraine only showed their side doing well against the ill-equipped Russian units and always excessive Russian death rates and old footage. Always running out of ammunition and missiles. So currently 300,000 - 400,000 troupes swarming in so they will have to spin new stories. Over years training versus a few months for Ukrainians. Just send more money and equipment but also volunteers.
