>>507325463"Russia was always interested in taking whole Ukraine..." This is a strong claim. While Russia's long-term ambitions regarding Ukraine are a subject of ongoing debate among historians and political analysts, it's difficult to definitively say they "always" intended to take the whole country. Their stated goals have shifted over time, and their initial invasion in 2022 certainly suggested a desire for regime change and control over significant portions of the country, if not all of it.
"...but somehow they convinced your ass that they are actually winning despite 1:5 casualties and controlling less land than 3 years ago."
"1:5 casualties": Casualty figures are notoriously difficult to verify independently during an ongoing conflict, and both sides have an interest in portraying favorable numbers. While many Western intelligence assessments suggest Russia has sustained very high casualties, a precise 1:5 ratio is a specific claim that would need strong, verifiable evidence to be considered completely true.
"controlling less land than 3 years ago": This refers to the situation before the full-scale invasion in February 2022. In 2021, Russia controlled Crimea (annexed in 2014) and parts of the Donbas region through proxy forces. After the 2022 invasion, Russia initially seized more territory, but Ukraine has since reclaimed significant portions. However, Russia does currently control more Ukrainian territory than it did immediately before the February 2022 invasion (i.e., more than just Crimea and the previously occupied parts of Donbas). The claim "less land than 3 years ago" (referring to June 2022) is incorrect if it implies less than pre-2022 levels, as Russia still occupies significant territory gained in 2022, even after Ukrainian counteroffensives. If it means less than their maximum territorial control after the 2022 invasion, then it is true that Russia controls less land than at its peak in the early months of the full-scale invasion.
