  1. @jayzandstra1830 That phrase about “3 days to Kiew” Russia never pronounced. It is invention of some US general and then it became famous in UA for propaganda reasons. If you read speeches of Putin, when he declared goals, you never find anything similar. Otherwise, you will find directly opposing things, where he openly said: “don’t hurry, save troops, time is irrelevant, better surround and wait instead direct attack, etc”. Moreover, this sentence (Kiew for 3 days) even have no logic. If you rapidly capture territories somehow, do you understand what it means? It means people who open monuments to WW2 criminals will survive. So no, Russian logic is otherwise: let’s continue this as long as possibly, so more of them came on battlefield and in result zero of they will left and survive. You need to understand context, after 1945 on that territories war continued for next 10 years, nothing stopped. Was captured several hundreds thousands of them in total. And then in 1956 they were liberated (Khrushev was Ukrainian). It is considered as hugest Soviet mistake, so they survived, born next generations and here we are again in same spot like in 1940s. So nobody in Russia want to repeat that mistake again. Exactly by this logic Russia never hit by their political leaders (first goal in any conflict actually — commanders and leaders), never hit by support lines from West and have isolated battlefield.
