It looks like Ukraine's long awaited "Spring" offensive is finally getting underway. So far, no one in the Western media seems to know what's going on. Again, there are conflicting reports. The fog of war is thick today.

During World War II Count Ciano of Italy observed in his diary "Every time the Germans issue a communique saying how well things are going on the Eastern Front, they get a thrashing."
I get a similar impression from Russian comments both from the Russian Defense Ministry and Foreign Ministry. Tiny kernels of truth perhaps but mostly disinformation.
