>Yeah, the DOD lies, like they lied about Russia invading Ukraine.

We can't ignore the 50+ years of lies about various conflicts around the world and the coups/ assassinations where the public was purposely misled. This isn't new and ridiculing the observation is unproductive. Ignore history at your own peril.

I will say, Russia has probably increased their forces at this point but it may not be as much as claimed by the DOD.

And for what reason would Russia commit so few troops?

Other than explaining away russian embarrasment of the way things are going.

Keeping civilian casualties to a minimum seems to be the objective. I expect things will escalate rapidly until Eastern Ukraine is under Russian control but only after most civilians are evacuated.
