A NATO military official claims that Russia is spinning its slow advance in the invasion of Ukraine as having stopped to allow time for negotiations.
“They are having problems,” the official explained, pointing to the alliance’s latest intelligence. “They lack diesel, they are proceeding way to slow and morale is obviously an issue.”
On Saturday, the Russian defense ministry said its troops have been ordered to resume their offensive “in all directions,” after a suspension was ordered for negotiations with the Ukrainian government. The ministry said the offensive was ordered to continue after Ukraine abandoned the consultations.
A Ukrainian presidential adviser denied in the early hours Saturday that Ukraine had refused to negotiate.
Asked whether Russians are likely to intensify their efforts, the official said, “They have to, they are way behind schedule. This is getting out of hand for them, every additional day is very painful.”

You know where you stand with Putin?
The same Putin that has repeatedly told brazen lies to the World about his intentions in Ukraine?
But anyway, I think that 22 odd year in absolute power and crushing any opposition or dissent has now adversely affected his mental state.
In short, and without using any technical or medical terms, he's gone full on bonkers.

Is this from the same Ukrainian defense that claimed about the ghost of Kivy?

From what I've read the Russians are not moving at night and have no night vision equipment .

Probably, but the NATO official claims to have intelligence that the Russian spearhead is struggling logistically. Multiple footages confirm the same.
