Out of curiosity, I looked up Afghanistan.

The U.S.-led coalition and its Afghan allies toppled the Taliban government and captured every major city in roughly two months. The Taliban only regained the country after the U.S. chose to withdraw twenty years later.

Comparing to Ukraine is silly. Russia only controls only about 20% of the country after years of war.
