Completely right. Here is a German article saying "it was badly planned". https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/europa/ukraine-verlauf-gegenoffensive-gady-100.html
I think it's funny how they keep saying that Ukrainian offensive is "running slowly but steadily", but there hasn't actually been more than a few hundred meters progress anywhere after two months of fighting. They literally failed to reach the first defence line. That's not progress, that's just Ukrainian army banging its head against a wall. Sometimes a few chips of paint fall off.
Yepp. I always hate seeing this "Ukraine strong" narrative in German media. No honest voice seems to able to speak up. Well at least till yesterday when the article I shared popped up. Let's see if the opinion changes.
I fully expect there's going to be a narrative collapse once the offensive burns out.
