It is been more than a month since Russia began its so-called special military operation in Ukraine. Although it is expected that the invasion will last for not more than a week as Russia is a supergiant and much more powerful compared to Ukraine. But, the ongoing conflict indicates that Russia is not demonstrating its full capability in this war and dragging the war for a long time. Resistance also matters as Russia wants the support of the Ukrainian people to establish Russian-backed leadership. But still, the things going on are very suspicious.

Let’s first look into the overall brief about Russia and Ukraine with a simple comparison.

The Soviet Union was made up of 15 Soviet republics, including Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine declared independence on August 24, 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The map below depicts the dates on which each of these countries gained independence.
