Russia invaded Ukraine with approximately 200,000 troops. The Ukrainian armed forces prior to the invasion consisted of 220,000 personnel total. Which brings up another good question to ask Putin. Why should the Russian people continue to trust you when you mistakenly invaded a country of almost 40 million with only 200,000 troops?

Russia has been the one slowly winning the war.


The Russians have lost 53% of the total territory that they controlled at the high water mark. The Russians are losing hundreds of soldiers every day to advance < 1km per day or some days do not advance at all around Avdiika? That doesn’t sound like winning to me.

Despite being a large Nato army, the Ukranian-Nato forces werent proven as an army yet. I guess Putin felt they would scatter and not fight when the bullets and bombs started flying. But the Ukranian-Nato army was super well trained, super well equipped, super coordinated and had great defenses ready and analysts. They were already a Nato army. The US would never allow China to turn Mexico into an army on its border. Hell we almost went to war over Cuba.

Which brings up a better question, how extremely stupid were the people in the US that said this was a Russian army trying to invade western Europe when it was such a small force. And with all the lies western media has told about this war, there are still stupid people who regurgitate their blatantly lying talking points.

Russia pulled back because they were overstretched at the beginning. The pull back was smart and allowed them time to bring a lot more numbers into the war since they were behind in this. Also allowed them to transition to building a lot more equipment for a much longer war when they didnt get the immediate knock out punch. They were going to need a stronger war time economy to defeat all of NATO war funding and an entire nation conscripted into being soldiers.

There has been a strong momentum swing as Ukraine has begun to run out of a lot of western munitions, skilled fighters, and their ruling class begins intra fighting for control. The complete failure of the spring/summer/fall ukranian offensive has transitioned into the slowing grinding success of the Russian offensive that is seeing the Ukranian strong fortress of Avdiivka crumble before our eyes.

LOL.. Nope.

Ukraine in maps: Tracking the war with Russia
20 December 2023


BBC:

quote:

Russian forces in the east have made confirmed advances north east of Kupiansk, north of Bakhmut, and south west of Avdiivka
Russian forces have also advanced near Robotyne, a southern village that was retaken by Ukraine early in its counter-offensive






Russian advances in the east


Russia has also made advances north east of Kupiansk, north of Bakhmut, and south west of Avdiivka, according to the latest ISW assessment.




You see that purple on the map? That's all of the reclaimed area by Ukraine forces. That sir is nowhere near 53% reclaimed. Maybe you meant .53%

Avdiika is almost completely surround now. Look at the map above
