How can an offensive have "failed" if more than 90% of forces are still training for the offensive? - Thomas Theiner (threadreaderapp.com)

At least in my country (Finland), most news sites have completely dismissed this incremental aspect of the counteroffensive. They have focused mainly on theorizing a few possible scenarios of how the offensive will go (breakthrough or not?), and each small event has been assessed in excruciating detail. Everyone has been focused on a single tank column blowing up etc.

Personally this was the first time I came across an explanation for why a more massive attack hasn't yet been initiated. Perhaps I follow the wrong news sites?

Check out The War Zone, they have some of the best coverage I have seen on the topic.
