  2.  @kingsleykester8167  Let's discuss the "military defeat of Russia in Ukraine." First of all, what do you mean by military defeat? - During the four months of the war, Russia established control over quite extensive territories of Ukraine. Do not forget that Ukraine is the largest country in Europe, and Russia essentially controls territories in 30% of Italy and 25% of Germany. Ukraine is not capable of conducting effective counter-offensives. Or maybe you mean by the defeat of Russia great losses? Well, excuse me - the attacking side, other things being equal, always bears greater losses than the defending side, especially in the 21st century. Perhaps if the American first army in the World had invaded Ukraine in the same way, maybe they would have been even more destroyed than the Russian second army of the World. The Russians invaded Ukraine without a numerical advantage, with an equal number of troops, although military science requires a preponderance, other things being equal, for a successful offensive. Do not forget that war has not been declared, and there is no mobilization in Russia. So by the third month of the war, Ukrainians had gained a numerical advantage over the grouping of Russian troops. So it is not worth judging the training and competence of the Russian troops by what results they have achieved. Firstly, if Russian conscripts are fighting in Ukraine, then in very small numbers and somewhere in the rear, but there are no conscripts on the front line. Ukrainian conscripts, untrained and poorly equipped, are fighting against the Russian contract army, although the Russian contract army, admittedly, is worse than the Ukrainian contract army. The Russians have much more artillery, aircraft and equipment. Thus, we have a situation that if we take the level of training of Ukrainian contract soldiers for 100, then Russian contract soldiers have a level of training of 75, and Ukrainian conscripts at 40. And they are fighting each other with equal numbers, although the Russians have a preponderance in technology. For 2 months, the front line has hardly changed, so far Russia has been holding the profits of the first month of the war.
