I’ve found Russian military bloggers are drama queens of the highest order. They’re really not a useful gauge for what’s actually happening.

So is that why they run to Belousov in a panic to complain? )))) Belousov hands out heart medication to them. )))

Comrade, if it weren't for those "panic-mongers," we likely wouldn't have such a detailed picture of the situation, because, according to pro-Kremlin media, everything is always fine.

That is precisely why Belousov summons bloggers—to get information from the ground, rather than from the reports of bloated generals who love sending "flag-bearers" just to snap a photo of a flag. The Russian General Staff then presents this disinformation as fact. Thanks to one of those "panicking" bloggers, several generals—the type who love planting flags—have already been relieved of their commands.

Remember when the Russians captured Kupyansk a couple of years ago? That general was dismissed, too.

Still, I understand why you call Russian bloggers panic-mongers. It started back during the Kursk operation, when bloggers caused public panic—but if you look closer, they were telling the truth back then. The Ukrainians caught the Russians off guard; that’s a fact.
