@robertaspindale2531 The Russians sent a force they believed was was sufficient for the task. They initially tried a direct assault, and when that failed encirclement of the capital. Both of which failed. Even if they had entered Kyiv, the result would have been a bloodbath, similar to that in Stalingrad during WWII. Only this time, ten times worse, due to defenders around every corner, being armed with modern hand-held missiles. On many occasions during war, an army has underestimated then strength of their adversary and paid the price. Just the same as as A H, thought the war would be won against the USSR before Christmas 1941! We all know how that one turned out! Hence the fact that a war Putin thought would be over in a matter of days, could now last years. What do you expect the Russians to have demanded from Ukraine in return for a cessation of hostilities? Yet more loss of territory. Since when has Ukraine demanded anything from Russia? Also which side has been the aggressor here? Naturally, Ukrainian's will fight for their homes. Wouldn't you or anyone else do the same in a similar situation?

@robertaspindale2531 It looks like you're beginning to double-down. A sure sign you don't have conviction in what you say. Also, having to invoke the "n" word in the conversation, as per Godwin's law, is a sure sign that you're on the run. The West was already buying all the resources Russia could supply. In fact, Europe was reliant on their supplies of natural gas. With their invasion of an independent, sovereign country. Putin has lost his main source of income and made the West have to look elsewhere for resources.
As for countries annexing territories, that was the cause for at least one World War, and maybe you're in favour of a third and final one?
The days of the USSR are gone for good, and those who had to suffer under it, are glad that it is dead and buried.
As for Ukraine, it invaded nobody. More than half the territory occupied by Russia, is not even the part of the two republics in question.
You state that Russia needed to start this war, for it's survival. Russia is by far the largest country in the World, and much of it's territory was taken through imperialist expansion up until this day.
Nobody would ever have dared to consider military action against the Russia, before this war. However, now their weakness is exposed, and the hopeless condition of their arms, who can tell what the future will bring?
In war all cards are on the table, and if you think the deaths of tens of thousands of human beings, is somehow "limited" and "justifiable", then you are indeed crazy.

@robertaspindale2531 Considering the title of this video is, "Will Britain’s new king seek to seek to implement the neo-feudalism of the Great Reset?" You're way off mark, by trying to shoe horn your opinion about this war into any discussion.
So you think Putin, is a benevolent leader who never does anything wrong? Who cares that he orders, the assassinations of his opponents, and the spread of propaganda?
He also thinks that Ukraine, is not a country, which should not even exist. Rather, that it should be nothing more than a vassal state of a new Russian empire. However, the Ukrainian people have long memories, and will never forget the genocide they were subjected to in the 1930's.
Russia was seen as a powerful country, with a strong defence. Therefore, who was going to walk in and take their resources, unless they allowed it? Natural products are the one thing that Russia has an abundance of, and selling them to other countries, was the primary way to earn foreign currency. Especially considering the weakness and corruption in the rest of their economy.
As for the rest of your comment, you keep repeating yourself, like a broken record.
This conflict, like most, has a long and convoluted history, and the only way to get a true picture, is to try and understand the events, which have lead up to the present situation. Luckily, in the age of the internet, there are many resources which allow this to be done.
