>>509115032claiming that Ukraine is a child is just propaganda.
1. Ukraine is the biggest country in Europe (if you don't count Russia)
2. Ukraine was designed by USSR as a "spearhead" against NATO in case the Cold War would get hot. This is why it has so many ammo stockpiles, so many duel-use airfields and overall infrastructure, and why every single industrial zone has bunker-level fortified tunnels which can be used by the army even in case of a nuclear war.
3. Ukraine entirely depends on western high-tech intel, communications, and equipment supplies to continue putting up a defence (and yet still loses territory every day)
^ you can't deny that all of the above facts are true, so all you are left with is having to admit that your metaphor was propaganda
