So did russia. They've been trying to take pokrovsk for over a year and a half now. Pre-war population of 60,000. And things will only get worse from here on out. They're about to start getting a steady stream of 3500 ERAM missiles, and their own indigenous cruise missile in now in production. RIP russia's oil refineries.

Ukraine didn't start the war for one thing. They didn't have any offensive objectives. Russia started claiming parts of Ukraine as theirs in Feb 2014. They objectives would be to stop the Russians from ethnically cleansing them, and genociding them as a people, I suppose. Also, Russia already had 19%. They've gained another 1 %. see picrel. Russia is squandering their demographics, hydrocarbons resources, military reputation, , ect, to just eat shit and die as a race, in the most documented and viewed self suicide in history.

If they wouldn't have fought, they would have lost the whole thing, see the Crimea. Russia thought this would be like that. They didn't know they would suicide as a race for this. Now, Russia will never take kiev, and they won't even take the 4 eastern regions, and there will always be a Ukraine.
