I think the tide is finally turning against Putin. These moves show he is afraid of truthful information. But he can't easily put a cork in the flow of knowledge in a mobile phone society.
Meanwhile, vastly superior Ukrainian logistics backed by western resources will defeat the Russians in the end. The Red Army's routes in are blocked by a 40km, apparently stationary, army. It looks like the Ukrainians have locked them in and will wait for them to run out of rations. Without food and water, they will surrender en masse. Russian planning has been disastrous.
The key for both the Russian army and society is for them to rid themselves of Putin before he does even more crazy stuff. He's lost his marbles.
