@TK-zb6jx maybe you should study the history of this war first before asking that question, otherwise you wouldn't have asked.
A democratically elected government was overthrown by a western backed coup in 2014. In it's place, a pro western, anti russian leader was installed (there's a leaked call from nuland deciding who should lead). Many in the eastern and southern ukr didn't approve of the coup, to which they held a referendum. Crimea asked to join russia, while donbas is asking for autonomy. In response, poroshenko government sent in the military to suppress the "dissenters", which led to civil war. Minsk agreement was signed, and giving donbas an autonomy was part of the deal. A deal that ukraine continuously violated. Then de-russification took place, where russian as a language was removed from the country with a huge russian speaking population. Curriculum about russia, soviet history, culture, and anything russia was incriminated. Right wing brainwashing summer camp for youth was erected, while the west kept training more and more racist, white supremacists and russian hating paramilitaries like the aidar, azov, the right sector, kraken battalion, etc. Then poroshenko talked about hosting a nuclear weapon and joining nato. That's a huge security threat. Remember cuban missile crisis and how much it is a threat to the US. In light of the suppression and oppression of the russian speaking/identifying citizen, as well as a nuclear threat that poroshenko proposed, russia moved in. Have you even heard of the peace deal during early days of war that goes smoothly, then BoJo came along and suddenly the peace agreement fell apart? Ukraine pravda reported it.
Lots of people are saying that if they identify themselves as russian they should move to russia. That's equivalent to saying african american should move back to africa if they identify themselves as an african. Besides, if people tell you to move away from your home because you didn't like the government, would you do it?

Let me tell you what these railways are about. Back during this era, zambia was blockaded by several western colonized neighbors, so zambia came to the US and asked them to build railways to help support the economy. They refused. Then they came to the brits, they too refused. And then they came to china. China during this time is facing its own difficulties, but they said "it's going to be difficult, but we'll do it" and so they mobilized their resources and people to build it. Even china has no such infrastructure, yet they are building one in zambia, when no advanced, financially capable rich western nation is willing to. 70 people died during the project, buried there and forever cherished by the zambians. They still tell this story to this day, a truly selfless act of distant neighbors who were willing to help others in time of need when they themselves struggled.
And the people of the west are confused on why africa is pivoting to china who's "authoritarian and evil", when the belt and road initiative has lifted african economy by quite a margin, when the west hasn't build them anything.

I said this because: they are provided with food that some of the locals can't even afford, yet still they asked for something "more palatable". They are provided with camps and tents yet they ask for better housing inside a building. They were told not to leave their camps, yet that's exactly what they did. Locals got kids, and now there's 3 burly men in the neighborhood, locations unknown. Tell me how you would feel if you're a parent that lives nearby?
After all these, they still had the gall to ask for citizenship and property.
In case you didn't know, it was the locals who at first insisted for them to be taken in, when the government rejected them, all under the pretext of "they are brothers and sisters of faith". It isn't long for them to figure out a quarter of them and not even Muslim, and the majority that are, can't even quote the 5 tenets. And their behavior is beyond what is acceptable for the locals.

@zerohours. The US MIC is technologically advanced in some regards, such as stealth tech, some improved sensor tech for military purpose, tho not as much as the media tried to sell it. Russian missile tech, for example, are much more advanced. And the new generation radar is getting better at tracking stealth coated jets. The current artillery munition round in the US stood at a mere 14k a month which they promised to raise as much as 36k a month. In contrast, ukr fires over 6k round a day, which means after the increase, it will only last 6 days. Compare this to rus firing at a rate of 40-60k rounds each day. and missiles like those of the himars are also at critical stock. There is an interesting article in RUSI (no, not that rusi. It stands for the Royal United Service Institute, UK based think tank) titled "the return of industrial warfare" which should give some rough ideas on rus vs US military industrial production capabilities.

@natetheskate6325 you're making it as if EVERYONE fled. There's less than 100k people that left russia out of fear for mobilization, which is partly the paper pushers fault, but remember russia had over 140 million citizens, 25 millions of which is combat ready. So the people that fled are less than one percent of the combat ready people, and compared to the total population, it's a grain of salt. And let's not forget that there's also 70k people that insist on going as volunteers on top of the required 300k that was mobilized. So it's not as much of an issue as what the mainstream media says.
Yes, iraq is a US failure. Look at it now, weak, constant infighting, barely heard from. Not as bad as libya, which is pretty much a civil war battle royale. Which is also the US fault.
The territory that's recently been integrated, or annexed, if you prefer, has been through a rebuilding process. Even the western media reported it, where russia brought in construction workers from NK, to rebuild the integrated area. A huge contrast to what the US did in syria, libya, iraq, and serbia, which left nothing but rubble and suffering.

@ashwinidombale7158 that's quite a self-insert right there friend! But here's the thing: first, children are a curious being. in the drama, the person who was thrown down the well is pretty much okay, so i have no doubt she can't yet comprehend how much of a life threatening issue this was since the only place she saw it happened, everything is okay. I have no doubt she thought she was just playing around. And you know that at one point i thought the same as you, that I've never done anything horrible when i was a kid, but then i started to think back of the things i did, the reasoning behind it and how it makes no sense to me as an adult. And i have put a friend and myself in danger because we both thought the thing we did was not as dangerous as it's supposed to be, since the people who did it on the TV were okay. But this sort of phenomenon happens to many, there's been news where the children were basically trying to re-enact the WWE wrestling, particularly the elbow drop. A kid died, and everyone understands that the kid meant no harm since the elbow drop in WWE never killed anybody. Now as an adult we know the WWE staged, but kids don't and probably thought it was cool and they wanted to be cool also.

@NickW92 you're trying to counter the argument by belittling ukrane, which is quite a pathetic copium. Need i remind you that before the war that it had the biggest standing army in eastern europe, almost 2k tanks (which is 10 times what the UK has) more than 200 fighter and air to ground support aircraft? It was literally the strongest army in eastern europe, stronger than poland, even before all the military and economic support. If the whole EU and nato can't even keep this nation from losing, how is it going to win in a direct confrontation?
I also like to remind you that the seized (or liberated) territory is the heart of the ukrane economy. Most fertile farmlands, biggest industrial complex, and biggest urban center. If ukr had to relinquish this area in a peace settlement, it will basically give away all of its important organs to keep itself alive. Why seize the area that the population hates you and provide no economic values when you can just seize the area where people like you and provide a huge economic value?
Finally, putin has said that the goal is denatzeefication and demilitarization, not a complete capture of the country. In valdai speech he even said that it is a pointless endeavor for the reason i stated above.
