I smell a trap.
I smell the coping and seething of brainwashed NPCs
I think the Ukrainians did say they suspect a trap, so I would not rule it out. But good news if it is not. The quicker the war ends the better it is for everyone.
It's not unheard of in war for retreating troops to leave booby traps behind. There's also the nuclear option once the Ukrainian troops are settled in and think they won. The trick is corralling your enemy in so you can use whatever you've got to bomb them with.
The story of the Trojan horse is about the Achaeans getting the Trojans to corral themselves in with the booby trap ...
Unless the Russians secretly have the technology to stop large rivers, there's no possibility of them making a surprise attack.
There are a lot of reports now coming in from both pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian sources that the Russian delaying forces have routed and the UA is in shelling range of the Dnipro. Tomorrow the truth will come out, but if true, it will be an absolute massacre for Russia.
