Ukrainian government: "It's DRG' bandits raiding small villages, we're taking them back with no issues whatsoever."

Ukrainian senior officers(based hundreds of miles away from the front): "We're receiving reports of light mobile forces breaking north and west in the Pokrovsk-Myrnograd-Dobropillya sectors. We should be able to hold with no problem. Russians taking 20:1 losses. Slava Ukraini."

Ukrainian logistics drivers in that sector told its an easy A to B route with no Russians nearby: "HOLY FUCK THERE ARE GERAN DRONES LAYING MINEFIELDS ON THE ROADS BEFORE IMPACTING ON THEIR TARGETS, WE JUST LOST VIKTOR AND ANATOLI. WHAT IS THIS NIGHTMARE? WE'RE STRUGGLING TO GET INTO POKROVSK ON THE M-04"

Ukrainian junior officers at Pokrovsk-Myrnograd urban sector: "We request immediate assistance, we're out of heavy munitions and have limited military grade vehicles remaining, infantry are bunkering down in the high rise apartment buildings. The Russians are breaking out into the secondary defence line and threatening to fully encircle us from the north and northwest, if we lose just one section of the M-04, we're trapped. Requesting orders ASAP, over!"

Ukrainian conscripts with just basic rifles and 7 days training told to defend a settlement from 5-10 lightly armed Russian scouts: "Hey what's that noise... OH FUCK IT'S AN ENTIRE MECHANISED BR-"

The disconnect is real.
