Putin was holding back the entire time

the only rational explanation for his restraint was that he wanted to minimize civilian casualties and damage to critical infrastructure

this desire to minimize collateral damage makes Putin a better man than all of the Western commanders who indiscriminately carpet bombed their enemies in virtually every major conflict since WW2

at this point, if Western media are speaking, they’re lying

everyone on this board who thought the Ukraine was winning this war, or that Russia was somehow outmatched, is a fucking retard
