Ukraine has had some good days lately, inflicting huge damage on the Russians. Ukraine has also been praised by military experts, explaining that the Ukrainian operation is very difficult, but Ukraine is doing a stellar job militarily.
Go Ukraine, may you win this war soon.๐ค
Getting billions in aid from the rest of the world probably helps.
Well yeah, obviously! Ukraine was (and is) one of the poorest countries in Europe. But if you look at Russia having a huge military and billions and billions more in military spending didn't help them. In the first months of the war Ukraine had not a lot of foreign equipment and they still held their own.
What I try to say: Ukraine is fighting for it's very existence and I think that alone is the main factor why they are so good on the battlefield compared to Russia!
