The Russian strategy isn't about seizing lots of land, they already had lots of land a month into the war and they gave up much of it to achieve a better front. What's happening week after week is that Russia is using their air and artillery advantage to bombard the Ukrainian positions and inflict much higher on the Ukrainians than they're taking themselves. They only bother advancing now when they have an overwhelming advantage.

@flipout99 WWII lasted for six years. Russia is fighting the second biggest army in Europe, backed by NATO, fed real time intelligence by NATO such that the Russian air force can't be effectively used. Russia is doing this with its peacetime army, it hasn't mobilised reservists. The Ukrainian army is actually bigger than the Russian army now. Whereas the Ukrainian economy has collapsed to half what it was, Russia is fighting a major war with a budgetary surplus. The Russian army made mistakes in the first month of the war but since then, it's inflicting vastly higher casualties on the Ukrainians than its suffering itself. The Western media is outrageously misrepresenting what's actually happening which is that the Russian army are killing these poor Ukrainian conscripts by the tens of thousands at little cost to themselves.

@hamzamahmood9565 NATO created the precedent of breaking up sovereign states and seizing territory in Kosovo in 1999. At the time Russia warned this was a dangerous precedent. Putin would never have done this if Ukraine were willing to stay neutral and out of NATO.
