Ukraine isn't a major power, and the fact that they've been able to hold back Russia so effectively, with so few resources, is mainly an indicator of how weak Russia is these days.


To give some context, Battle of the Somme, lasted 4 months, total casualties: 1m+.


This was before invention of Twitter, now with so many conflicts in the air, I'm sure we can beat that figure.
