You seem to be arguing a version of the "feint" argument, sir. This is patently untrue. Russia sent an armored juggernaut with artillery and air support to attack Kyiv. It measured 41 km long and three vehicles wide. The argument that it was too small to take Kyiv has no basis, since we don't have any actual troop numbers to go on.

"De-Nazify" is code for overthrowing the government, clearly. Moscow's propaganda had painted the Zelensky government as Nazis for years and this was merely a reiteration of that. Russia has destroyed all manner of infrastructure in response to their losses, not just military infrastructure.

Also, western military aid is in terms of equipment and the escalation has been in response to the Ukraine taking the offensive. Russia has neither adapted nor are they "pushing towards their main objectives." Those objectives, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and other major cities are beyond their reach and they're now struggling to hold onto what they have.

Meanwhile, they are experiencing manpower shortages, fresh troops are poorly trained, criminals are being pressed into service, and their equipment is still failing. The economy is collapsing and Russian citizens are fleeing the country by the millions to escape conscription, while there's no shortage of Ukrainian volunteers and even refugees are returning to fight. The influx of equipment is why Ukrainian forces keep prevailing over brute force Russian attacks.

Your figures are also way off! Russia occupied a maximum of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's total territory. That INCLUDES Crimea and all land occupied in 2014. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces have liberated 74,443 km2 (28,743 sq mi), which is 46% of what Russia took since 2014. Russia's gains in two small towns don't amount to 2% either. They are losing Donbas slowly and will never regain the offensive at this rate.

Also, NATO hasn't committed any troops! They only recently began sending tanks after months of withholding offensive weaponry. Volunteers are going to Ukraine, but no NATO soldiers have been sent.

Facts on the ground? Nope, your arguments are based on a passing glance at some maps, some faulty figures, and some Moscow-tailored talking points you are repeating. You say you're not "pro-Russian" but you're definitely believing what they're feeding you.
