Russia is doing incredibly well. Russia held ALL the military advantages at the start, yet 8 months on now, and Russia is losing territory. That is a catastrophic Russian failure. An astonishing feat of doing fantastic for Ukraine.

Russia had a massive advantage in military equipment at the start. Holding all the advantages, Russia should have captured the entire country in 5 days. Russia expected to win within 5 days, and Western analysts generally agreed, believing Russia would wrap up Ukraine within 1-2 weeks.




Yes, the West provided ATGMs and MANPADs to Ukraine, but that would only prove useful at all, if Ukraine could hold out longer than the projected 5 days for the war to finish. If tiny Ukraine couldn’t hold back the Russian juggernaut until Western supplies arrived in substantial numbers, those Western weapons would be meaningless.

Well, Ukraine did hold out, shattering Russia’s best troops at Hostomel and nearly wiping them out to the last man. That’s before substantial Western weapons arrived, and it only got worse from there.

Russia was forced out the Kyiv region.
Russia was forced out of the city of Kharkhiv.
Russia’s Black Sea flagship, Moskva, was sunk.
Russia was forced off Snake Island.
Russia lost 6,000 sq kilometers in two weeks in the Kharkhiv region.
Russia lost the vital supply hub of Izyum.
Russia lost over 100 supply dumps, weapons depots, and command posts from HIMARS strikes in the space of about a month.
Russia is losing ground steadily in the Kherson oblast, West of the Dnieper.
Tiny Ukraine holding out more than a month, battling a 10 times larger giant, is already a Ukrainian victory. Holding out for nearly 8 months and pushing Russian troops back, is an outrageous win for Ukraine, and this is still ongoing.
The list of Russia clusterf**ks is far longer than this.



This does not equal Russia doing well, it equals Ukraine doing extremely well. With Russia’s equipment advantage starting the war, Russia’s forces performing nominally, within expected parameters, to put it plainly “doing average” would have amounted to capturing Kyiv within 5 days. We are nearly 8 months into the war and Russia doesn’t have Kyiv. It is losing Luhansk, losing Kherson, and it already lost the Kharkhiv oblast. Only a delusional fool would call that, “Russia doing well.”

War, what is it good for absolutely nothing


They will have to "talk" last last!

You are definitely a child OP.
Between Nigeria and United States who have More Equipment, I guess you will say United States. If you give United States 2 months can they Capture Nigeria?
I need your answer first before I know what to say further

If you are not a kid, you should know Russian intelligence and western military analysts were convinced that in 3 days to 3 weeks, kiev would fall. Putin aim was to change government in Ukraine.
He failed. He even said military should rebel against Zelensky. Many people called him comedian. That was the reason Kiev did not get millitary weapons like Himars. Russia underestimated UA and RA was overrated.
Most important battle is the final one according to art of war. RA has not fought last battle they are already looting, raping and killing civilians indiscriminately. RA are not disciplined. If you remove nuclear weapons, Egyptian or Algerian Army would beat RA in one one conflict.

I stopped at "Russia is losing territory" after we all witnessed a referendum and annexation of "country-sized territories"

This optimistic delusion is what will ruin Ukraine & NATO

In a war, when you seize territory, you man that territory.

Now tell me, how can you distribute your soldiers in a country as big as Ukraine?

To occupy Lviv alone, you will need more than 100k. Lviv is the largest region in Ukraine. It is the logistical hub for foreign weapon/mercenaries.

Western analyst were convinced that Russia was not going to attack, because they felt Russia needed minimum of 500k troops for a start, if she is serious about conquering. So despite US warning, Zelensky, Most Western leader and Western analyst thought Putin won't dare invade with such small troops.

Imagine deploying 30k troops to take a Kiev. A city of more than 4 million people. The 30k troops normally was not suppose to the gate of the capital. But they did. When they got to the gate of Kiev, they were ordered not to bombard the city. Russia could have subjected the capital to land and air bombardment. But they didn't.

Putin was waiting for negotiation. He was not interested in capturing. He wanted to put pressure on Zelensky to negotiate. But didn't happen.

If the government arm every Lagosians. Trust me, 300k US troops will be buried in Lagos if they invade us.
