I’m sure there was levels of support from the west.. like America gave 400 million to help with air defense systems in the recent years .. but still doesn’t take away from what Ukraine has been able to accomplish mostly on their own.. russias military budget completely dwarfs Ukraine .. and unless Russia attacks a NATO country Ukraine is still physically on their own in this .. credit where credit is due

Insane if used in civilian areas.

yeah for the urban warfare we can imagine the anti-tank, rocket launchers etc... meaning giant blasts are what Putin will end up to do, if he does continue

it's just an official info I posted. whether it's right or wrong, no1 here rly knows

I believe Russia's apparently poor tactics make sense as an attempt to avoid civilian casualties. The harder you hit the more mistakes will be made, and Putin doesn't want images of millions of dead children to circulate around the world. He's trying to frame this as a regime change for the benefit of Ukrainian people. It's very hard to do that with piles of dead civilians.

maybe, but after a really quick start they are stalling big time and every day passing will make it harder

the window for a quick blitzkrieg style win is slowly closing

Maybe, maybe not.
Maybe it is a tactic to avoid civil casualties and if true it is at least one glimmer of hope that there is some human sense left in his brain. But nonetheless, seeing as how determined the Ukrainians are in defending their country, they obviously don't want a regime change. And even less a regime change that basically makes them Russia's puppet. So it doesn't matter what Putins intentions for these tactics are, he has no business in invading the Ukraine and if he hadn't we wouldn't even be debating what causes his tactics.

I would say it is already closed. To continue in a 'fair'-ish fight is one thing. To start carpet bombing is something else. China will only go so far in keeping relations with Russia, and Russia's future economic stability is, for the immediate future, almost completely dependent on China staying neutral.

I'm not trying to say he's right just what I think he's thinking.
