Soudre – France 2 France Télévisions Wednesday, March 23 , Ukraine had still not fallen into Russian hands. The Ukrainians resist, forcing Russia to review its attack strategy. A month into the offensive, fierce Ukrainian resistance slowed the Russians down. In the early days of the conflict, the impressive images of a column of tanks suggested that the Russian steamroller was going to take everything. But the military and civil defense has disrupted the plans of Moscow (Russia). Even predominantly Russian-speaking cities, such as Kherson (Ukraine), resist the invader.

According to many experts, they probably no longer have the means to invade the whole country.
