the lack of display of russia's 'power' is something putin will regret soon.

I am the one who does not want to see that "power". This whole war seems strange to me. In mass media I only see how many military engineering Russia has lost, while Ukrainians only have civilian losses. I have seen on tv many times how destructive Russian weapons are, how much damage their rockets can make, how badass their ships and submarines with nuclear weapon are. What I see now on YouTube and telegram - some kind of 18-21 year old kids captured by Ukrainian army. That makes me feel that either all Russian army and its potential is fake, or they have send kids that undergo compulsory service in army to war, or real and experienced Russian army is too smart no to take part in this war.

It is also possible that Putin send less experienced units first to bleed the Ukrainian positions before sending more seasoned, professional
soldiers to finish them off.

Or Ukrainians are just badass. They decimated the Chechen contingent. And everyone was saying how fearsome, ruthless these Chechen
special forces were. No more.

The 400 Wagner's Group contractors did a diddly squat so far. Not sure if the Ukrainian army killed them all tough so they still might play a role in this conflict.

We don't know exactly what happened. All we know is that about 6000 Russian soldiers actually died as of yesterday. Countless equipment has been destroyed and abandoned.
