It has been catastrophic however I still dont understand some of their decisions: 1. Do they actually have a supreme military commander in Ukraine running the invasion or is it being run politically from RuZZia? 2. Why only send 200,000 troops in when they needed 600,000 (standard military doctrine of 3 to 1 numerical superiority)? 3. Why the over reliance on reservists and conscripts when the RuZZian army is supposed to be all volunteer these days? Where are their elite units? 4. Why havent they used their more modern fixed wing aircraft and in numbers to completely overwhelm Ukraine Airforce? 5. Why havent they used their most modern tanks (T-12) etc? Regardless how good or bad one expects the enemy to be, one doesnt go into an invasion half arsed. The aim is to completely dominate and overwhelm the enemy as quickly as possible.

Maybe they didnt want to inflict mass civilian casualties. The slow and steady method gives civilian population some precious additional time to evacuate compared to overwhelming sudden force.
