Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been a masterclass in military failure. Nearly 4.5 years in, Moscow holds less land than it did three weeks into the full-scale war, and has also failed to capture a single regional capital city. The arrogance of the Kremlin at the start of the full-scale invasion was pathetic. They truly believed they would easily dismantle Ukrainian sovereignty and install a submissive puppet regime. In the chaotic opening weeks of March 2022, Russian forces rapidly seized between 25% and 30% of the country. However, their momentum shattered with their defeat in Kyiv, and they have been losing the wider war ever since. The raw data reveals a truly pathetic performance by the Russian army. Ukraine protected 23 regional capital and special-status cities at the start of the full-scale conflict, and it still securely controls all 23 of them today. Russia briefly occupied Kherson, yet they quickly lost it to a Ukrainian counteroffensive. A score of zero out of 23 tells the entire story. 0/23! It is a catastrophic failure that Russia holds far less territory now in 2026 than it did during the first month of the war. They are still grinding away at Chasiv Yar in 2026, a reality that is thoroughly ridiculous for a supposedly elite military. This total failure has cost Russia roughly 1.5 million casualties. Even with substantial material help from foreign regimes and the deployment of North Korean troops to the front, Moscow has achieved nothing of value. The war will end in a Russian defeat, though the timeline remains long because Putin will never surrender voluntarily. We must force his hand. Now is the ultimate window of opportunity to support Ukraine by funding massive quantities of strike drones and missiles. Ukraine is utilizing highly effective mid-range strike drones right now, and European governments must send immediate financial support today to finish the job
