At this point, all evidence points to the Russian military having been overestimated.

Evidence provided by who?

The overwhelming majority of reporting.

What evidence regarding Russian failure to take Kyiv do you question, and what evidence would you provide in support?

Did you expect Russia to take Kyiv, or not? When did you reach that conclusion, and did your expectations change as the war went on?
