Gerasimov, the chief of staff of the Russian army, who is in charge of the military invasion of Ukraine, argued in front of military attachés of various countries stationed in Moscow that 'the reverse offensive by the Ukrainian army has failed,' and it seems that there is also an aim to discourage the Ukrainian side.
