Now after almost 3 years, Russia not only hasn’t managed to take Ukraine, but has lost territory to them too. For months now Russia has still not been able to take it back!
That was a battle cry for a tankie to show up and produce a different statistic. FYI, it’s usually a time capped chart that limits data in Russia’s favor.
War is a dynamic phenomenon, after all. (You can usually take a specific block of time from any point and produce a favorable result by limiting which variables are used. This is why internet charts and graphs must always be verified, actually.)
Doesn’t change the fact that this 3 week operation, is now a 1000+ day embarrassment for Russia. Where instead of taking Ukraine in 3 weeks, they’ve only managed 20% in almost 3 years, and at extreme cost of both human lives and war material. Plus they’ve committed a long string of war crimes.
I don’t see how any tankie can turn this to look good for Russia, except flat out lying about it.

Even worse, their propaganda outlets were reporting three days at the onset
AFAIK the estimate given to Putin was 3 weeks, 3 days was media hype, I’m not going to repeat that nonsense.
