It may be a "leak" that's still underplaying the calamity and trying to assign blame for the failure of Ukraine which is (in my opinion) inevitable.
Oh definitely. Doesn't mean they are false, tho.
At the end of this, the number of dead and causalities on the Ukrainian side I expect to be VASTLY underestimated. I don't think Ukraine has a military anymore to speak of, I think most of them are dead, and they will soon be replaced by EU mercenaries, and THEY will die.
If you want to see how Ukraine is winning, and Russia, Russia, Russia is running away like a scalded dog, watch CNN.
I just have to look at the battle maps to KNOW that Russia is not achieving their stated goals from over a year ago.
What are Russia's stated goals?

The goal as stated by Putin several times was to "Denazify and demilitarize Ukraine" and to prevent future encroachment of NATO on Russian borders.

Kiev is still standing, Ukraine has recaptured much of the land lost to Russia in the early months of the war and Russia now has a brand new NATO member (Finland) on their border.
Again, I am not pretending this war is over or that Russia can't recover. All I am saying that "right now" Russia is not achieving their stated military and geopolitical goals.
The 'recaptured' land was a shooting gallery flatlands that Russia ceded back rather than defend while pointlessly losing soldiers.
The Russians rain rockets on it to kill more Ukrainian sitting ducks. They can mop it up later after they finish disposing of what's left of the Ukrainian army and its ragged conscripts and grinding up all those weapons that haven't wound up on the black markets.

Then why did Russia waste thousands of lives and massive amount of material to take this land in the first place if they were just going to give abandon it?

Yes - we know. Russia has been doing this from the start. Yet they possess less land in Ukraine today then they did a year ago despite massive loss of life.
BTW - how many more "seasoned" and well trained troops does Russia have left to throw into the Ukrainian meat grinder? They lost alot of experienced troops in the initial push to take Kiev. Russia already had to plumb the depths of the well by using convicts, Wagner, Chechans, Syrians, and Iranians. Got to believe new conscripts in Ukraine will be better motivated, trained and equipped then the new conscripts Russia is pulling from their far flung ethnic provinces to fight an increasingly unpopular war.
LOL! Partition en route. "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for an Army today!" Will Hungary and Romania get their chunks, too?

If this is true, this is an intentional breakup of Ukraine, that was part of the reason for starting the war.
A Russian-appointed official has acknowledged that Moscow's forces have abandoned the Ukrainian village of Robotyne, more than a week after Kyiv announced its recapture.
Yevgeny Balitsky, the top Moscow-installed official in the Zaporizhzhia region, said in a television interview that the Russian army had withdrawn for what he called tactical reasons.
"The Russian army abandoned - tactically abandoned - this settlement because staying on a bare surface when there is no way to completely dig in... doesn't generally make sense. Therefore the Russian army moved off into the hills," news outlet RBC quoted him as saying.
Russia has not previously acknowledged the loss of Robotyne, whose recapture was announced by Ukraine on Aug. 28. In its daily update on Tuesday, the Russian Defence Ministry said its forces had repelled two Ukrainian attacks near Robotyne.
More than 18 months after Russia's invasion, Ukraine says it is gaining ground and has broken through Russia's first line of fortifications in several places on the front line, despite repeated statements from Moscow that Ukraine's three-month-old counteroffensive has been a failure.
Reporting by Mark Trevelyan;
…that’s right: FT identified a 71-year-old Ukrainian in the ranks of the NATO-sponsored training program. While perhaps admirable in terms of the individual elderly man’s courage and willingness to defend his country, the whole scenario underscores the sad state of affairs within Ukraine military ranks, given they are sending geriatrics.
Oh wow! They gave up A VILLAGE!
How many stoplights did it have?
How many Ukeys died to capture it?
Russia has been losing territory and men for over a year now in Ukraine.
How many Russians have died in the past 18 months just to embarrass and expose Russia to the whole world as nothing but a 3rd rate fighting force?
In what universe does Russia come out of this for the better?
Everything you just wrote is either wilfully taken out of context or just pure propaganda bullshit.

That being said, Russia is clearly NOT a threat because of their complete shit performance in Ukraine. By sheer weight of men and materiale they should have been in Kiev at a week, tops.

There can be no disputing that Russia has less conquered territory in Ukraine today than they had 1 year ago despite spending BILLIONS on material and tens of thousands of Russian lives.

Russia isn't fighting a war for territory. Not in this phase. It got what it wanted as far as territory goes and can hold it indefinitely.
Russia isn't interested in keeping every inch of territory. The more territory they have, the more they have to defend. They are primarily interested in destroying the Ukrainian military. They may repeatedly take, and give up land in order to do that.
And Ukraine is now one of the heaviest armed, motivated and most experienced militaries in Europe launching near daily drone attacks deep inside Russia including Moscow.

Interesting. That sounds like a description of Germany in 1944, with Germany's V1 and V2 "drone" attacks deep inside Britain including London.
