To that, add lack of ammunition. In last few years there were quite a few mysterious explosions in major Ukrainian ammo depots, which rendered whatever artillery there is ineffective. By some estimates, the number of shells destroyed in those explosions was several times the number of shells used up in this war thus far. None of the incidents were solved.
Russia indeed was preparing for the assault for some time, and very seriously. From social engineering (making connections in political circles, primarily German, mastering art of propaganda and building troll factories, undermining social fabric in the West and in Ukraine) to sending mercenaries and carrying out clandestine military operations.
The disparity in the forces is not surprising. Surprising is the fact that some here root for the Orcs.
I'm surprised anyone is surprised.

“There is well-grounded suspicion about the involvement of officers of the Russian intelligence service GRU, unit 29155, in the explosion of ammunitions depot in the Vrbetice area,” Babis said.
Interior Minister Jan Hamacek, who is also serving as the foreign minister, said the Russian embassy staffers were clearly identified as Russian military spies.

Dude, you've been banned before because you're such a hateful, vitriolic nutcase.
You have proven, repeatedly, that you're a viscous, foul mouthed, awful person that despises anybody that won't go along with the bullshit US media narrative on Ukraine, which given they have lied about Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and Afghanistan, not to mention Russian Collusion, ballot fraud, inflation, etc, etc, etc, are suddenly being truthful about the situation in Ukraine which we know (and you've denied) was overthrown by the United States.
Why do you think I need to prove anything to YOU? I don't think you have genuine beliefs. I think you're an argumentative child but claiming:

Is ridiculous. If Russia claimed water was wet, and fire is hot, and I dared to say the same thing you'd be screaming until you were red in the face and popping blood vessels that it's "Russian propaganda".
You are a complete child.
Does Russia lie? Of course, every government does, but it's not either they lie entirely or not at all. You can't realize that, and I'm tired of trying to communicate with you although I tried for 2 months, but you pretending to act rationally and detached when it comes to this stupid conflict the US started by overthrowing Ukraine? That is fucking rich. That's a belly laugh. You're a maniac in my opinion. Unhinged and anything but objective or detached.
Should Russia win this conflict, and I expect they will, the only thing Ukraine will get out of this is a bunch of dead bodies - possibly a decimated population with a lost generation, and the US will get what it wanted - an excuse to launder a few billion dollars and some propaganda of "Russia bad" and possibly a slightly weakened Russia. That's what the war is about from the US' point of view. Fucking sociopaths run this nation.
By the way, the US Federal government being the complete incompetent ABSOLUTE FUCKUPS they are, may end up with a significantly stronger Russia. Oil is at a high, Russia has finally given up trying to work with the west, they now have a completely self sufficient economy, they no longer have US delineated reserves, NY and London's banks can't fuck with their currency or stock markets anymore, and the Ruble is now one of the strongest currencies on EARTH because they quasi backed it with gold. Meanwhile, we're going through currently massive inflation, and possibly later down the line, hyper inflation, all because this fucking lunatic cunt Victoria Nuland has some bizarre grudge and has been given carte blanche to carry it out.

he moral compass of a person is not defined by their assessment of the situation on the battlefield. One may think that Russia is winning and I will not treat them with disrespect just because of that. On the other hand, someone who pushes many lines of Kremlin propaganda

Truth is Ukraine is the new Bitcoin, the new Land of Tulip speculation....and soon: Biden's Second Afghanistan Fuck Up.

No amount of yellow & blue flags next to your Slack name will change that either.
