Why? US has delayed plans by months before. Who knows what operational reasons they might have had.
Also something of this scale the US probably didn’t want to directly tip its hand. So it warned people weeks in advance, specified a false timeline knowing most Americans likely to heed it anyways would probably avoid such gatherings for even longer than that.
Also could have been Ukrainian SBU, the certain parts of the US learned of it or were informed, issued that alert and maybe knowing their chances were worse with that alert out they rescheduled and tried to keep it from the Americans next time.
To what end, strategically? Possibly none whatsoever. I’ve always had a hard time believing empire can be so petty, but the evidence keeps accumulating.
I think they still have the delusion that they can use terrorism to turn the public against the government in Russia somehow. They’re basically realizing that they lost the conventional war, so now it’s gonna be straight up terrorism.
With a popularity rating consistently crossing 80% in the most recent years, especially as a Russian victory in the Ukraine war began to look a plausible reality, the outcome of last weekend’s election was a foregone conclusion. Indeed, the estimation of Putin’s massive popularity is attributed to a US government-funded polling organisation known as the Levada Center.
Hence the covert operations and terrorist acts to create disturbed conditions within Russia and discredit or undermine the election process. Hundreds of drones were fired from Ukraine at targets inside Russia in recent weeks, some aimed at Moscow and others at St. Petersburg, mainly at power plants and some airfields including Domodedovo located south of Moscow and the second busiest airport in Russia.
The high noon came when a 1500-strong strike force that included Russian speakers in a special unit, a large number of foreign fighters, supported by tanks and armoured personnel carriers (including Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles), and elite Ukrainian units tried in vain a fortnight ago to invade Russian territory in an operation lasting four days. Ukraine’s head of military intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov since reportedly told President Vlodomyr Zelensky that the planning of the operation was compromised by a traitor — or so he believed.
The Ukrainian leaders and their backers in NATO calculated that an invasion would work and somehow the Russian elections would be discredited! But it turned out to be a fantasy. It appears that Russia’s battle-hardened security agencies were throughout one step ahead of Ukrainian intelligence and its western mentors.
Vicky specifically mentioned asymmetric warfare in her comment, trying to do incursions into Russia isn’t new either. Ukraine has been trying to do raids off and on for a while.
I doubt any plan got delayed by 2 weeks if it was meant to happen immediately. There are a lot of angles here.

It is not ISIS, Ukraine is attempting to shift attention https://t.me/rybar/58423
I think that it’s almost certain that US is behind this given that Vicky the witch was just promising nasty surprises. These are the surprises.
Did the US broadcast a public warning ahead of time as a flex?
I figure the flex was Vicky openly promising nasty surprises.

Maybe these wet farts were the “surprises”:
Putin’s victory is a geopolitical reality
Russia thwarts Ukrainian incursion attempt
