  1. An invasion can only really work if it comes as a surprise. The Russians wanted the invasion to come as a surprise and so they attacked with too small a force. You can have a big invasion or a surprise one. Not both. 'Further mobilised troops become inefficient'? Yes but its not about winning efficiently any more. For Russia a complete final 'true' victory is no longer attainable: a strategic success in getting to the Dnieper and them consolidating behind that formidable obstacle and incorporating East Ukraine into Russia is what is on the Kremlin's mind. They will have to be quick because the attrition of Ukrainian equipment at the current rate will mean that Ukraine will be entirely refitted with superior western arms by next year. At that point Russia will be faced with losing Donbass and even Crimea. which pace Binkvov will in my opinion face any conceivable occupant of the Kremlin with an unbearable humiliation.

  2.  @jevinliu4658  Yes they were caught off guard because the Russian invasion force seemed insufficient and was assumed to be sabre rattling. Kllitchko the mayor of Kyiv said President Zelensky was not expecting an invasion and failed to prepare for it until the last weeks. Earlier preparations could have really hammered the Russians. This is why they preferred to not have ponderous preparations, and catch Zelensky with his pants down.
