If Ukraine wouldn't care about civilians they could probably take Donetsk even with crazy fortifications and Russia would be dead (political). Ukrainian held territory is only a few miles away and with their power they have right now they could do it. But it would cost many civilian lives as well and not "only" many lives of soldiers. So that Ukraine can't really do that... Russia just bombs every single building before they even reach a city.

true... Russia is using very different tactics than the West, they put huge amounts of money into the army, use cheap artillery massively with little accuracy and technologically outdated

they destroy a whole city to weaken the enemy, a huge ruin with its civillians buried underneath

thankfully NATO has developed increasingly accurate - and expensive - weapons the last decades, investing in quality and not quantity

this allows them to hit targets precisely, disrupting enemy supplies to weaken the enemy, and also minimizing soldier losses along with civillian

we can only hope that Ukrainian courage and Western weapons wil prevail, and stop Russia's barbaric path in the long term 🙏
