Russia has leveled many areas held by Ukraine. But as things have progressed, the west has been giving Ukraine a ton of support, including anti-missile defense systems. The war has also demonstrated quite clearly that Russia's military might was overblown, and they've actually been severely undermined by decades of corruption.
