Russia has committed less than 8% or so of its total firepower against a foe that was very much expected to be capable of some form of resistance, especially since it is being armed and funded by the entire NATO, having received in only three to four months the near equivalent of what Russia is spending in a year on defence. Unlike completely helpless, isolated and disarmed nations such as the Iraq of 2003 (actually a failed state at that time already) or the Libya of 2011, quick victory over which NATO regimes like to portray as an extraordinary feat indicative of their supposed global military supremacy. Whereas in reality, these respective scenarii and the challenges they pose are fundamentally different.
Russia has been displaying major prowess in this conflict indeed. Against a more or less capable enemy Moscow deployed no more than a fraction of the defending party's troop numbers, but has nonetheless snatched 20% of their territory while losing several times fewer men and equipment in the process. And this is while Russian forces are wary of causing extensive damage to regions inhabited by their kin, which they intend to annex - another constraint NATO hasn't been facing in its campaigns. Not only hasn't Kiev been able to halt the steady, daily Russian advances but it'll end up losing much more territory in the upcoming weeks and months. The resulting Ukrainian rump state will be in ruins while current Russian territory will remain entirely unharmed.
Russians would pay for this with their Blood and economy.

Its actually sickening you keep reposting this russian propaganda about ukrainian forces using civilians as shields. They are defending their country and citizens, while Russia is using that lame excuse to flatten everything moving forward, because all advantage they have left is artillery power.

Russia has lost around 165 combat aircraft over Ukraine - so far.
How Ukraine gave Putin a bloody nose – and rewrote the future of air power
More than 100 days into the war, Russia still doesn't have air superioritywww.telegraph.co.uk
If they are only defending their citizens,then why donbass people want to break from ukraine in the first place? Those people who speak russian aren't 'citizen' to those nazis,right? Western propaganda is ridiculous.Its actually sickening you keep reposting this russian propaganda about ukrainian forces using civilians as shields.
