They never tried to capture Kiev . They surrounded the city with only 40,000 troops . About 200,000 short of what is needed to capture a city that big

@AnmolX-jw8jr They didn’t lose at the beginning . They took swathes of territory in Lugansk , Kherson , Kharkov etc . The war is not about taking territory anyway

@kevenwhite2885 if Russia really wanted to take Kiev they would have deployed the right number of troops to achieve that . 40,000 is nowhere near enough How do you know the reason for the military operation ?

@kevenwhite2885 It’s very sad for Ukraine . They are losing lives and their country. And for what ?

@kevenwhite2885 The ratio of troops needed to take a city is 4 to 1. There was 60,000 Ukrainian troops defending Kiev . So Russia would have needed 240,000 troops to take it . 40,000 is nowhere near enough . The main clue that Russia had no plans to take the city . They then left the area as part of the Istanbul agreement. There was no major battle The column of Russian vehicles was to pressure Ukraine to negotiate . They did just that with the Istanbul agreement. The column was then deployed to the Donbass

@kevenwhite2885 I’m not mad just flabbergasted that you have an opinion on military matters but don’t know the first thing about military doctrine . The 4 to 1 ratio of troops needed to take a city is widely accepted by every military on the planet including Russia If Russiawanted to take Kiev they would have showed up with the appropriate number of troops needed for the mission . Around 240,000 considering the number of Ukraine troops defending the city ( 60,000 ) . There was no major battle for Kiev . The footage would have been all over the media and social media. And there is none Of course they failed to take the Kiev with 40,000 troops because they never attempted it . For the reasons I have already given based on established Military doctrine

“ Russia lost the war ? “ Ukraine has made no territorial advance in over 18 months . Are running out of men and equipment And are being smashed by missiles and drones daily . Russian forces are advancing across the entire front line . Is that your definition of Ukraine victory . Because the reports here are not your liking doesn’t mean they are propaganda . They just reflect the reality on the ground . Can’t handle it go somewhere else where fairy tales will make you feel better
