RU is going towards martial law reported by UKR MoD but take that with a grain of salt.

Tricked 90% of their forces to be occupied in Ukraine, while someone else crawls up their backsides. Brilliant! No need to invade.

Waiting for you, Russian population! Hurry up!

What it actually described was that 90 percent of the massed force that Russia had in position to attack was in Ukraine.

Russia has plenty more armed forces. Just not on the Ukraine campaign.
