The whole world watched Russia move their troops into place for around 3 months.

Are you really claiming that Ukraine wasnt aware what was about to happen?
Feb 17th
President Joe Biden said there is a "very high" risk of a Russian invasion of Ukraine in the next few days.

"My sense is this will happen in the next several days," Biden told reporters outside the White House on Thursday.
 
4. Kyiv complained U.S. intelligence wasn’t specific enough to prepare for an invasion. Ukrainian officials complained that whenever the Americans shared their bleak outlook about an imminent invasion, they never fully provided Kyiv with the details of their intelligence. In November, Ukraine’s foreign minister and Zelensky’s chief of staff visited the State Department in Washington, where a senior U.S. official greeted them with a cup of coffee and a smile. “Guys, dig the trenches!” the official said.
In fairness that doesn’t say anything about the US knowing the “day and time”. It says they told Ukraine to prepare for war in November but didn’t give the Ukrainians officials as much info as they would have liked. I only called you up on it as you don’t seem to like unfounded propaganda (I’m with you on that) and saying that the US knew the day and time sounds a bit like unfounded propaganda
 
Military expert Boris Rozhin on the main points during the special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine at 22.24 Moscow time on 08.10.2022, especially for the channel Voenkor Kotenok Z @voenkorKotenok :
1. Svatovo-Kremennaya
. Positional battles, the enemy is accumulating forces for an offensive on Svatovo , probing the front line of the RF Armed Forces in areas northwest and southwest of Svatovo . The enemy is also preparing for an auxiliary strike in the Kremennaya area . Both sides are now hastily pulling up additional forces to the front line in this sector. Intense hostilities are expected to resume soon. 2. Artemovsk.





Our troops continue to advance southwest of Artemovsk, slowly advancing through the enemy's fortified positions in the area of Zaitsevo (not completely cleared yet) and Otradovka (earlier the enemy was driven out from there).
Fighting is underway on the eastern outskirts of Artemovsk. Little progress was reported in the industrial area. There is no progress in the
direction of Kurdyumovka .
In the area of Soledar - no significant changes.

3. Nikopol direction. After advancing at Davydov Broda and Dudchanthe enemy has already launched a number of attacks on the new line of defense of the Russian troops, but so far has not been seriously successful, having suffered significant losses in people and equipment.
Nevertheless, there is a concentration of additional forces in order to try to break through to Berislav and cut off the Russian bridgehead on the right bank even more.
Serious fighting continues near Posad-Pokrovsky , Ternovy Pod and Snigirevka . The enemy continues to have the operational initiative in this direction.

4. On Zaporozhyedirection, the enemy made a number of attempts to reconnoiter in combat, but did not achieve significant success, having suffered serious losses in people (including among mercenaries) and equipment. There is a serious possibility of an enemy offensive in the Zaporozhye direction.
The enemy continues shelling the area of Novaya Kakhovka and Energodar .
Today there was an arrival at one of the railway stations in the Mariupol region . The train with fuel and lubricants in Ilovaisk
was also struck. The enemy is trying to disrupt the supply lines of Russian troops in the southern direction. The attempt to destroy the Crimean bridge is a step in the same direction. Fortunately, the railway bridge survived, which means that it will continue to play a significant role in supplying our troops in the Kherson and Zaporozhye directions.

5. In the Donetsk direction, our troops continue to clean up Pervomaisky , gradually advancing in the village.
In the area of Avdiivka , Marinka , Ugledar , New York and Dzerzhinsk - no significant changes.

I am happy to apologise to @davids if I misunderstood but I took his comment to mean the US were holding back info but I really don’t see that being the case and this adds to that

Sorry, obviously a completely indecipherable shorthand in the context of a discussion about Ukraine, in a thread entitled "Ukraine".

When I write UKR, I mean Ukraine.

Sorry. Figured an experienced polylinguist like yourself would follow it easily.
It did take me a while to understand but I broke out my Enigma machine and eventually cracked the code

I have visions of him watching a game on Sky and spending 90minutes trying to work out who ManC and Liv is.

So many acronyms flying around this thread it's always prudent to check. It's just that you appeared to be typing as if you'd lost the plot. It's Ukraine or the Ukraine (just for future clarity)
