Doubt it, any military buildup would be spotted weeks before any possible "surprise offensive" were to take place. It's one of the most monitored borders in the world afterall.

Indeed. People forget that that satellites exist and it’s not very easy to hide traveling military equipment and troops.

Months before the war, every news outlet was warning about a buildup on the Russian border.

Good point, but Putin plays the long game, I suspect this is strategic manoeuvring for 12-18 months from now.
