Zzz - facts claimed in article fail to support headline.
In any vaguely-modern military, if you have both a war going, and a military HQ responsible for some quiet & lightly-manned sector of the front, then the mostly-idle officers in that HQ will get busy churning out "what if the enemy attack our sector?" warnings and plans and paperwork. Those who can't do that, or otherwise make themselves look very busy and needed - well, their records will be marked "not suitable for staff or higher command". And they'll soon be transferred to new units - in the thick of the fighting, where replacements are needed for all the officers who've recently been wounded or killed.
(Yes, the article mentions a bunch of more-specific warnings which that sector's HQ received. But pessimistic and paranoid thinking are the day jobs of plenty of Russian intel officers who are further up the chain of command. And trying to divert scarce Russian forces and attention to sectors which won't be attacked is the day job of plenty of Ukrainian officers who are similarly placed in their side's chain of command.)
