As I said truth is always something that you can find. I didn't say that Ukraine didn't use millitary against Donbass, I said that in comparison with russian army their goal was never to creat a terror, attack civils just to attack civils. Those territories was ocupied by enemy forces, so you can't win war without attacking them, and ofc some civils building could be destroyed for sure, case this is war, BUT as I said if armies main goal is defeating enemy, not destroying city then city overall will look nice, and that the case with Donetsk, you can google and find true if you really want.
Now talking about ukranians who stopped russian army, truth is that Russia has just bigger millitary power, so they got forces that able to push ukranian army and defeat em, but they didn't conquer any big city. They was trying to defeat army in Mariupol for 14 days with 120.000 army, and rusdian sources say that in Mariupol locates 25.000- 40.000 ukranian soldiers. This is why now russian forces is trying to burn city to the ground, case they don't have any choice left.
You see in 1941 - 1945 Ukraine never was conquered by Hitler even with much bigger forces and same thing happening now.Russians are fighting for money, while ukranians fight for their homes and their land. Spirit and desire to never give up, surprise attacks from everywhere is enough to demoralise any army that is trying occupie another country. That was real problem for Hitler and now it is problem to Putin.
