No they didnt. They just refuse to use US tactics like melting the face off a little toddler just to try and bomb a target.
You realize the US government/military and world governments and militaries were the real terrorists all along right?

Thanks, you are thoroughly indoctrinated. When everything the American people believe is false, we will know the success of our misinformation efforts.
Have you believed every story told by the media and the Pentagon?
I have not.

I really don't believe what we're being told by either side. Russia is playing a game and pretending to have trouble while they've pretty much done whatever they wanted and are now mopping up. The question is what did they want to do? And why were they allowed to do it? And who's the bigger fraud, Trudeau, Biden or Zelensky?

Or was it more like a "request" for protection, like how the mob does for small business?
I do agree there is a lot of misinformation however i dont see any advantage to Russia making themselves seem incompetant.
All this does is weaken their standing on the world stage so i dont think they are somehow faking a loss.

Have any evidence for that, or just another wild theory?

So no evidence then, just a wild theory you made up, got it.
I agree with the first part, but it's Ukraine's choice who to request investments from and none of anyone else's business.

Assault on the Ilyich plant in Mariupol: 1350 marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine surrendered to Russian troops
The prisoners say that this is the only chance to survive.
Soldiers of the DPR OBTF continue to take Ukrainian military prisoners in Mariupol. On the evening of April 13, the number of those who surrendered increased to 1350 Marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The video is long. The Russian commander in the video talks about the fact that the marines of the 36th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to make a breakthrough from the encirclement at the Ilyich plant in Mariupol. Drone footage shows them running. But the Russian troops saw all their training, and when they started moving, they were bombed with artillery fire. Most of them died - up to 80%, according to the military in the video. The rest were taken prisoner. Technique also became a trophy. One wounded soldier says: We were taken, I did not see where. Then something came. I don't know what arrived. I was thrown up 1.5 meters. I realized that I am everything. The servicemen in the video say the same thing - there was no other way out but to surrender. Constantly under shelling sat in the basement. It was impossible to leave the basement. Together with the marines, there were Ukrainian border guards. In the video, one says that even before the war they were brought to a school in Mariupol. Then they sent me to another locality and told me to stay at the school. There were no orders to do anything. The border guards did not suspect that a war could begin. Then the shelling began, the war began. The announcer on the video explains that the Russians were shooting at the schools because they were being shot at from there. At the end, the commander in the video says that at the Ilyich plant, all the Ukrainian military have already surrendered and it remains only to take out the wounded, who are about two hundred people. Then the Russian troops will storm the Azovstal plant.
