Not as quite upvoted as the other one, but only relatively.
April was quite a mixed bag. The Russians were beaten completely in the NW front (which ceased to exist after they run away in their "goodwill gesture" after a whole lot of their badwill gestures), but the inevitable fall of Mariupol was a downer. No self harm however, and the Mariupol guys who survived captivity are already out in the prisoner swaps (including Mariupol commanders in exchange for a traitor oligarch that Putin planned to become the leader of his puppet Ukraine).
The tweet was also in March, not April. This is what I answered back then:
I only excepted them to hold out for 3 days maybe. It's been 3 weeks already.
It was over 11 months ago.
And I'm fine.
Edit: Actually Mariupol fell in late May (the Russians tried very hard to make it for their May 9 victory day festival but failed).
And the attack on Bakhmut (pre-war population 70,000, of whom less than 5,000 remain now) began the next month. It's been 8 over months now and it still stands.
It's 2023 and you guys still think Russia is some kind of invincible military power like I did exactly 1 year ago, before it came to a test.
The Russians were beaten completely in the NW front
Were they? As far as I know, the imperialists in the USG told their puppet that the area was undermanned, so they marched in... and Russia evacuated the remaining forces without incurring losses.

I remember someone else who made similar conclusions based on the Winter War.
Also the fog of war was such that I've seen Sumy (the capital of the Sumy oblast) being still Ukrainian for many weeks on the maps but never heard anything from it and wondered what's going there. And it's because there was just no communication with the besieged city. Which held out with little more than police and civilian guns and captured weapons, and their makeshift weapons that the citizens produced in workshops like here: https://twitter.com/HKaaman/status/1627733462416252928/ I wish they had the NATO weapons in time, but turned out they really didn't need it to fight off the Russian "elite" tank divisions and help.stop them from driving on Kyiv from the east. The spirit is what it takes.
The Russian "elite" of the VDV, the Chechen gunmen, the 1st Guards Tank Army, and the special police forces (taken on an adventure in a special military operation, perhaps because they thought it was a special police operation - quite an unfortunate misunderstanding) got "undermanned" alright by mostly a bunch of Ukrainian Territorial Defense and left their unburied undermanned littering everywhere among the wrecks of their entire columns. Wanna see some videos?
Oh, I did find it:

He meant the April of 2022.

Now it's just really silly.
