Russia has de-facto annexed Crimea, breezed-through large parts of Eastern provinces, and the Ukrainian army with the whole financial, strategic and weapon shipments backing of Europe and the USA, has been unable to push the Russian forces out.
"For the first time it looks like Russia could win."
~Presstitutes who lied about everything.
It's not the fist time Russia has de-facto annexed russified parts of its neighbours. All the West does is send strongly-worded letters. Russia knows the USA and Europe are weak.
all the territories taken were 90%+ russian already. elon suggested the UN hold a referendum for each territory, requiring 90%+ vote to have it switch to russia, and they tried to cancel him for it... because anyone who actually checked the facts knows these people wanted it. the "resistance" wasn't even locals. they were outsiders from elsewhere who wanted to keep more tax slaves.
That whole part of the war where tens of thousands of soldiers drove towards Kiev, basically just parked on the road for weeks, nobody shot artillery or dropped bombs on them, and they just turned around and drove back to Belarus was really weird.

Not really. There were several upsets and Russia embarrassed itself quite thoroughly and continues to do so.
Accurate and under stated. Even the west expected it to fall quickly.
