@realSanti954 they had spent months training with NATO, they received over $270 billion in aid from Western countries and organisations since 2022, with around ~60% delivered up until july 2023 (~70% today). Broken down it looks like for 2022 to 2023
~$29,580,000,000 Equipment costs
~$15,560,000,000 Munitions costs
~$769,200,000 Small arms costs
~$105,000,000,000 Logistics costs
A lot of people don't realise how much logistics costs, people think you can just send equipment and boom there you go, because in reality it's the thing that costs the most. There's fuel costs, maintenance costs, spare parts costs, systems testing costs, combat testing costs, ammunition costs, crew training costs, mechanics/engineer training costs and transportation costs and then you have to pay the crews, mechanics, drivers and engineers for the operations.
Logistics is what takes up the biggest chunk, for example the Iraq war estimated to have cost over a trillion dollars yet the actual dollar value of the equipment and Munitions used probably barely made half, it's running, maintaining and operating the equipment that costs money.
Up till june 2023 before they launched their counter offensive they had received months of training with NATO equipment, up to ~70,000 soldiers trained to NATO standards, they received nearly 400 NATO air defence systems, hundreds of NATO anti aircraft guns and over 2,000 NATO manpads (including thousands of others) to help them punch a hole in Russia air superiority to get some momentum. They received tens of thousands of NATO ATGMs and nearly 500 NATO standard tanks with 400 ex soviet ones and Thousands of NATO IFVs, APCs, EW systems, radars, counter batteries SPAGs, artillery Guns etc. And dozens of aircraft including attack helicopters and fighter jets along with just over a million shells of artillery and tens of thousands of guided rockets, hundreds of missiles to hundreds of thousands of unguided rockets to hundreds of thousands of mines and hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition and nearly half a million NATO small arms.
Remember a lot of this was top stuff or at minimum frontline use in NATO countries. M1A1SA Abrams, M-55S, Leopard 2A6, Leopard 2A4, Leopard 1A5 DK-1, PT-91, Challenger 2, T-72 Avenger, AMX-10RCR, CV90MK-II, CAESAR, PzH-2000, M109A6, Krab, Zuzana, DANAM1, Archer, HIMARS, M270B1, MARS II, RM-70V, RBS-56B, TOW-2A, Javelin E, Harpoon, Hellfire, RIM-7M, Brimstone, Moruš, FFAR, Hydra 70, AASM Hammer, AGM-88 HARM, Storm Shadow, Stringer E, Stinger C, M777A2, RBS-70MK2, Piorun, Patriot PAC-3, SAMP/T, NASAMS-2, IRIS-T SLM, Crotale NG, Bayraktar TB2, Mi-171Sh, MiG-29AS, Akeron MP, MILAN-3ER, Rosomak, M2A2-ODS-SA Bradley, Stryker, AN/TWQ-1, AN/TPQ-53, AN/MPQ-50, AN/TPQ-49, AN/TPQ-48, AN/TPQ-36, TRML, Ground Master 200, Giraffe 75, AGM-88 HARM, COBRA, SQUIRE, ARTHUR, MAMBA etc. Is all minimum frontline NATO equipment and practically every single one has been destroyed at least once.
Their counter offensive was to split the Russian army and capture ~44,000km² out of around ~100,000km² it was to liberate Crimea and prove to the world just how superior Western weapons were.
It was a colossal failure, ~46 billion in military supplies, ~100 billion in logistics and financial costs, months of training, access to the best intelligence NATO has, battle plans coordinated with top NATO commanders and in nearly 5 months of fighting it only caught less than ~400km² or around less than 1% of their target. They couldn't even breach the 2/5 defensive line and spent 3 months fighting for a single street village which by the way was taken back by Russia at the start of 2024. All the hype and Ukraine still lost ~678 km² in 2023 overall despite their offensive. For context Russia captured more territory in February to march 2024 alone, it shows how utterly pointless aid is and how even at Ukraines strongest they can't do anything.
The funniest thing was all the western think tanks and media groups that said western weapons would be too good for Russia to then saying that it was all old. The cope is real. It's also funny because Ukrainians themselves have criticised NATO training. A big problem with NATO Doctrine is that it solely relies on air supremacy, air supremacy is easy when you are facing a country that uses obsolete SAMs and fighter jets.

Russia advances 10 times further in a week than Ukraine does in two months, and small attack ? That must be good copium you're smoking, didn't know 100,000 men, 900-1300 tanks, 1000+ IFVs and dozens of Ka-52s supported by few squadrons of Su-35s, Su-33s and numerous Artillery and MLRS batteries and S-400 air defence systems and offcourse Lancet Drones and missles, was a sMaLl aTtAck, Russia is preparing for a massive push.
They didn't get stopped at all, they broke past the first Ukrainian defensive line and are now, regrouping and re supplying for their next push.
Keep coping
