So to get the context "Ukraine" is not one country but at least two. In the medieval times it was the battlegound between the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Russian Empire, with the Dnyeper, as the more or less stable border. So there is two population living there culturally, the polefied russians, and the russified poles. It goes up until this day, in Western ukraine people vote for a certain west leaning candidate, in Eastern Ukraine they vote for the Russia leaning candidate. Hell broke loose when the Western Ukrainians couped Janukovich, who was more or less a middleground man, and installed their puppet in his place. Crimea, which was actually occupied and forcefully incrporated multiple times snce 1991 and the Donbas openly revolted, where Kiev had to deploy its military there, which in response Russia sent military assistance to the rebels. Europeans and Russia worked out the Minsk accords according to Donbas becoming a demilitarized zone, where none of the interested parties should have weaponry. Then Trump sent lethal military assisntance to Ukraine, who in order to their new strenght started to redeploy into the Donbas, and shelled the positions of the rebels, to which in response Russia prepared its full scale invasion. Putin sent an ultimatum to NATO on which he demanded NATO to retreat behind its 1997 borders, most likely as a bargaining tactics to gain a no to Ukraine's NATO membership, which was rejected, then he recognized the Donbas and Luhansk republics as new entites and started the invasion. Russians captured the land corridor to Crimea thatshow securing its supply the Crimea canal which is the sole water supply to Crimea, and captured the outskirts of Kiev. They didnt attack the Donbas dierctly most likely because the bulk of the ukrainian armed forces were there at that moment.After the first thrust they sat into the diplomatic table in Istanbul, where in exchange of the recognition of the breakaway republics they retreat out of the Kiev region, which was agreed by Zelensky, later cancelled when Boris Johnson made the case that NATO will support Ukraine in their effort to retake their lands. Since the original invasion forces were inadequate in numbers for the occupation of the land they gained in the first days of the war, Ukrainians could utilize their higher troop numbers and reconquered Khrakiv and Kherson, where the Russian troops made a strategic withdrawal behind the Dnyeper, securing a great victory. The Russians then changed doctrine and built up a defensive line along the entire frontline while focusing their thrust into the Donbas, mobilizing and redeploying multiple units into the Ukraine theater. Since Urkaine's war effort requires a constant victory streak in order to justify the effort ot Ukraine's backers they had to pull off a direct attack against the defensive line, in Zaporozhia. The problem was not only Russians knew where the attack will happen, but they could camouflage their real positions while digging false positions to show weakness, and trap the Urkainian thrust in multiple firepockets. As the counteroffensive failed, general Zaluzhny realized, that Ukraine dont have the military resources to recapture the Donbas or the Crimean land corridor, so he was removed and replaced by gerneral Syrsky, who is willing to continue the fight.
