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?
Russia never planned to take Kiev. Russia sent troops to Kiev to keep the Ukraine military occupied while other Russian troops went to work in the Crimea,..which is Russia's only real interest in Ukraine.
Apparently, the Hungarian people are very fond of him also.
Uhh...no.
All the major news sources say he is a cruel dictator and his people are so terrified of him that they only support him publicly so they won't be burned for heating fuel.

Seemed like a very costly "distraction." Looked much more like a failure to take Kyiv.

It’s the Donbas the Russians are taking. Crimea had already joined with Russia in 2014 when the CIA overthrew the elected Ukrainian government and installed the Nazi puppet regime.

I think for the “conquest of Kiev” to have been a real thing those soldiers in the 40 mile column would have had to dismount from their vehicles and engage in combat operations. They didn’t dismount or engage, they encircled the city while the rest went to the Donbas to get to work. Kiev was a distraction and an almost international disaster considering how frothed up the war mongers were while they salivated over attacking the Russian sitting ducks. Thankfully we didn’t take the bait and after a couple weeks those columns dispersed.

Poland to sue Germany for $1.3 trillion over WWII Warsaw has estimated its World losses from the conflict and wants Berlin to pay up Poland to sue Germany for $1.3 trillion over WWII
Polish leaders have provided a new assessment of the damage the country sustained at the hands of Germany during World War II, evaluating it at 6.2 trillion zlotys ($1.32 trillion).
During a news conference on Thursday, which marked 83 years since the start of World War II, the leader of the country’s ruling nationalist Law and Justice party (PiS), Jaroslaw Kaczynski, announced the release of a report on the costs Poland suffered during the years of Nazi occupation.
“We not only prepared the report but we have also taken the decision as to the further steps,” Kaczynski said during the report’s presentation, announcing that Warsaw intends to officially request reparations from Germany, which he described as a “long and not… easy path.”
He added that Warsaw believes Germany is capable of paying the bill, and insisted the move would serve “true Polish-German reconciliation,” which would be based on “truth.” Kaczynski also suggested that the current estimate of damages may not be final.
“The sum that was presented was adopted using the most limited, conservative method, it would be possible

Kiev has over 3 million people in the city and suburbs around it. .
sending in a few hundred old t 72 tanks to conquer it? lol
They were a distraction and also used to block major roads down to Crimea and E Ukraine while the real forces secured Crimea and set up for ops in the Donbas .
I remember all of the low IQ uko Care Bears saying the Russians were losing badly trying to invade Kiev. lol
ukraine special forces, trained by the British SAS, attempted an attack on the nuclear plant controlled by Russia early this morning. Over 250 of the spec ops troops reported killed by Russian aircraft while crossing the river. day before the inspectors arrive
