Russia expected to "denazify" and "demilitarise" Ukraine in a matter of days - but one year on almost everything Vladimir Putin set out to do has failed miserably.
In 12 months, the biggest victory Putin can laud is a land corridor giving Russia a direct connection to Crimea, which it illegally annexed in 2014.
It means that Russia is no longer reliant on the Crimea Bridge, which was blown up by a Ukrainian truck bomb.
