The Pentagon had to publish satellite photos in the NYT because it had no other diplomatic means of sharing intelligence with a non-NATO government. And Zelensky still said NO! He refused to believe the US military.

We didn't yet know how shitty Ukrainian intelligence was. We stopped trusting Ukrainian bullshit the minute Russia invaded, and we were right to do so.

Former senior Ukrainian officials who are still in contact with the current administration and intelligence services told Newsweek that some in Ukraine — including within Zelenskyy's inner circle — suspect their U.S. partners are exaggerating the Russia threat.

Ukraine crisis: Don't create panic, Zelensky tells West

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky signaled as recently as Tuesday that he didn't expect Russia to mount a full-scale invasion.

In the wake of Vladimir Putin's sweeping attack Thursday morning local time, those words appear very distant.

"The Ukrainian side believes that a broad escalation on the part of Russia will not happen," the presidential release read.

What he's saying: In the final hours before the invasion began, Zelensky revealed that he had tried to call Putin but been met with "silence." He addressed the Russian people in Russian to make an appeal for peace, while acknowledging the need to prepare for war.

Ukraine president issues clarification on earlier statement that Russia will attack Wednesday

Volodymyr Zelenskyy now says the prediction that the attack would come Feb. 16 was spread by the media and is not an official date.

yep they fucked up and it cost them a big chunk of territory. The vast majority of territory taken by russia came in the first couple of months in the war. It would have been a different war with some prep time. But everyone got it wrong with the exception of the US. Putin told very few people, which kept the whole world guessing but also fucked up the russian military's plans (no one in the military was ready for war). Wonder how the US has been so spot on.
