A lot of wrongdoing by the Russian soldiers (war crimes, including rapes), but even the US military did the same things in Irak/Afghanistan, even in Guantanamo, war bring out the worst in people, also the intensity of the conflict is very questionable and could have been avoided

But one certain thing is Putin and his government put to shame NATO, and specially Germany ('no russian gas? fine, we'll get russian coal instead'), and they managed to counter and debunk the active US/UK propaganda

Because of the former, just like with the US, they proved they are not able to bring peace, the US managed to get away with it for some reason, hopefully Russia won't and will be charged for it

I’m not sure how good the propaganda of “we went to capture Kyiv in three days and in 5 months we still aren’t there” is.

There’s a reason Russians flail about nukes constantly it’s because they aren’t having the propaganda wins they need in Ukraine to display to their public.

I don't think Russia brags about nukes, it's part of the US/UK propaganda, we seen it with Taiwan this week end

"China will nuke Pelosi's plane", they never said that

Russia literally constantly postures on their internal talk shows that they could nuke everyone and then shows computer sims of them nuking countries.

There's so many videos of this its hard to imagine you not coming across them.
