200km is the size of the area liberated in the Kharkiv oblast from last year (I forgot about the Kherson area liberated from last year too, which is roughly of the same size).
Anyhow, the amount that the area reconquered by Ukraine in the past year is still a lot than what Russia has gained since the start of the invasion.
You claim to not be pro-Russia and yet keep invoking about Nazis this and that, a talking point repeated by Kremlin propaganda. It is very telling where your sympathy tuly lies. No matter, Ukraine is still surprisingly militarily competent than the Russians. The results of Ukrainian territorial gains and Russian military losses speak for themselves (and let's not forget that Crimea is now vulnerable to Ukrainian missiles, which just wrecked the Russian Black Sea naval command).
Is bringing up actual history that explains nato doctrinal failures (not even ukrainian, theyre just working with what they've been given, which is equipment meant for a shitty doctrine) that actually happened evil Russian propaganda now?
You must be really upset at those mainstream US news outlets reporting on the Waffen SS criminal being applauded by the Canadian Parliament and Zelensky. So it didn't happen, it is just Russian propaganda.
Yes, this:

Is worth depleting your strategic reserves over. This reeks of Hitler in his bunker energy, except youre in an armchair halfway across the world.
NATO doctrine is not based on Nazi doctrine as you're pushing. And the Canadian Parliament buffonishly applauding a Ukrainian Nazi has nothing to do with Ukrainian war. And lastly, the amount of territory that Ukraine has liberated in Zaporizhia is still a lot more than what the Russians have taken in the past 10 months. Show me how much land Russia has taken since they lost Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts?
I see that you have brought up Ukraine losing strategic reserves, a common Russian propaganda talking point. If Ukraine is losing plenty more trooops, they would not be conducting more offensives along the front line. If Russia has more reserves, why are they struggling for 10 months and had to rely on Wagner recruiting prisoners and losing 20,000 in capturing Bakhmut? Why did Russia deploy the Russian paratroopers from Bakhmut to Zaporizhia, even though the area around Bakhmut is slowly being retaken by Ukraine? Why could Russia not send more troops in Nagarno-Karabakh to prevent Azerbaijan and Armenian conflict if Russia still have more troops to spare to keep the peace? And why could Russia not do the same last year when Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan had border conflict when they sent troops to between bickering neighbours?
If the Russian doctrine is better, why have they still not defeated Ukraine? Seeing as how your English has gotten bad since your first comment and how grossly inaccurate your assertions are, you're not really fooling anyone in this forum with ridiculous spins from whatever script you're reading. The only people who would believe your spin are the domestic Russians subjected to censorship. But even then, they could get more accurate information from the likes of Telegram and WhatsApp to bypass censorship. As one of the Russian TV pundits say it, Russian losses in Ukraine is too big to ignore to be massaged by government PR. But i will give this to Kremlin, they have won the hearts and minds of the Russian public to convince them to turn a blind eye to the war in Ukraine. Other countries would have already protested and try to overthrow their government for the bad performance.
