    crazy theory: It appears on the surface that the majority of the Russian land forces have not committed to the offensive, yet they are attacking everywhere across ukraine. This is strange because if russia didnt want to commit major forces in this war, then they wouldve done something much smaller in ldnr. Yet everything indicates this is a full blown invasion of the entirety of Ukraine. I think that what is actually happening is that through the initial airstrikes and electronic warfare, ukrainian c4isr is completely fucked and they are essentially blind. Then, the majority of russian forces have gone directly through the frontlines and are encircling and cutting off the bulk of ukrainians currently thinking they are fighting the main russian forces on the frontline.

    evidence: russian troops popping up out of nowhere, such as in lviv https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3413590-russian-paratroopers-land-in-lviv-region-trying-to-take-control-of-local-helicopter-unit.html
