I didn't think 200,000 troops was enough.

200,000 is major and very intimidating, and more than enough to take over many countries. Problem was/is the ineptitude of the Russian military, officers and troops.

Ukraine is a huge country. They are finally getting their act together and fighting for their homeland like they should. 200,000 troops may not even be enough to take Kyiv, alone. For the invasion to actually work, they probably needed 500,000 troops. Assuming they have logistics and strategy worked out.
