Just started the day. Thread's moving like lightning. Apparently the Russians haven't taken Kharkov and Kyiv yet. Can see drone attacks on Russian columns.
Every day the Russians don't take these cities is a loss for them. They expected a walk-over, didn't get it. If Kyiv is taken, would look for the Ukrainian government to work from Lviv. Am sure they've already set up. Still a lot of Ukraine, actually the vast majority, that hasn't seen a Russian soldier. At the rate things are going, the Ukrainians will never give up, meaning the Russians have to try and take the whole country. Doubt they can do it with forces available.
Still don't understand the Russians' piss-poor planning. You'd think they would have had a solid operations plan already on the shelf, ready for implementation. That's the job of a General Staff. If your operation is properly planned you don't have forces running out of gas, as a rule.
In the end, the Russian "victory" will turn out to be very, very expensive for Russia. Already is, in more ways than one.
