Did Ukraine Outfox Putin With Its Offensive In Slovyansk? The world was shocked by the Ukrainian President’s sensational May 1 admission that Ukraine had “lost control” of eastern Ukraine. Pundits and the press declared “game over.” Ukraine has lost the war for the eastern half of its country. I was puzzled: Why would a head of state admit defeat in the midst of war? Today, we may have an answer: The Ukrainian government wanted to lull the Russia’s covert operators in their command and control center of Slovyansk in eastern Ukraine into a sense of false confidence. Although supposedly infiltrated from top to bottom, the Ukrainian military and intelligence services caught Slovyansk by surprise, at least in terms of the magnitude and ferocity of the attack.
