You did read my post where they were in a better tactical position around Bakhmut in February right? What happened since then?

Why would I read literally any of your posts. The only reason I read this one is because it was next to mine.

Frankly, Russia were going to invade whether there was water in the canal or not. Putin's main goal is the capital city. With land bridge to Moldova, they'd have marched across the birder and installed their prefered leader in Chisinau. Once that is complete, focus was going to turn to countries such as Poland and Finland in my opinion.

Who knows, we all have our opinions on where/what/why but I am unequivocally not a Russian sympathiser and any one who says otherwise can go fk themselves. That last bit not directed at you @ForceFate

Start counting.

Bit weird to be counting Chechnya considering it's their own land and was a fight against terrorists.

Oh, dear. Have a read:

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Checheno-Ingush ASSR split into two parts: the Republic of Ingushetia and the Chechen Republic. The latter proclaimed the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which sought independence. Following the First Chechen War of 1994–1996 with Russia, Chechnya gained de facto independence as the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, although de jure it remained a part of Russia. Russian federal control was restored in the Second Chechen War of 1999–2009, with Chechen politics being dominated by Akhmad Kadyrov, and later his son Ramzan Kadyrov

For examples of Ukrainian propaganda.

-Russia has run out of missiles.

A year later and still missiles are flying.

-Russia has run out of tanks.

A year later and still Russian tanks appear everywhere while Ukrainian tanks are almost battlefield myths.

-Russia is losing monumental amounts of soldiers.

4:1 in Russia's favour.

Read it again, I’m not blaming Ukraine you tit, I’m stating that restoring the flow of water to Crimea was probably one of Russia’s main motivations to invade because without a strong and steady water supply their stolen land in Crimea was pretty useless.

Invading Ukraine seems an awfully costly scenario compared to laying pipe to a water source elsewhere in Russia.
