It has been two weeks and Russia lost 12000 soldiers and 1200 vehicles, while capturing one major city (Kherson). They have also made no gains in last week.
That is somewhat of a fiasco for someone who is supposed to have deployed order of magnitude more soldiers, tanks and airplanes than their opponent, and claimed they will win in few days.
EDIT: thanks for the correction, got the cities mixed up.
