@bilic8094 - Russia did intend on taking Kiev, those first 16,000 were sent in to hold the airport and establish and air bridge so large numbers of troops & equipment could be flown in and also to secure the route for the armor columns coming in from Belarus. It fell apart due to lack of coordination between the separate assault elements and lack of coordination between ground & air to start with. The claim that this was just a diversion doesn’t hold water when they could have easily taken the Donbas & land bridge to Crimea, what they now claim to be their goal, had they concentrated all of their force in this area instead of the way over ambitious three prong attack they tried with overextended their forces and failed miserably.
