I just don't believe that separatists in sedans are running out ahead of the professional soldiers, it isn't a reasonable thing to do. It's video game tactics.
Again stressing, I don't know. But it could be forces friendly to Russia already in the city, attempting to set the stage, expecting Russian forces to be there sooner. People also just do dumb shit in war a lot.
I agree wholly with this sentiment, but I think the dumb shit people do in war is more driven by fear than doing solid snake missions. I think there's tens of thousands of (completely justifiably) frightened civilians holding guns for the first or second time in their lives who are shooting at any twitching leaf or face they don't recognize.
As far as I know the soldiers of the DPR and LPR have been fighting hard against the bulk of the Ukrainian armed forces that have been camped in their region for the past 8 years
Donbass has been conscripting military age men in the past few days, as far as I know. I'm no army mans but I'm still pretty convinced that driving into enemy territory in a Lada when Russian armor and artillery are headed there to take it is more of a movie or game strategy than what seasoned partisans or fresh conscripts would do.
