While it's true that the Russians failed to take Kiev early in the war, the Russians currently hold all of the Black Sea coastal areas east of the Dnieper river. That is the most important factor in the war, not taking the whole of Ukraine. Time is also on the Russians' side. They can dig their heels in and pick off the Ukrainian forces until something snaps in either Ukraine or in NATO, with a US presidential election coming up soon and as opposition to the war among people in western countries rises.^^^ Lot of horseshit there. What hysterical western claims? Putins plans to take Kyiv and install a puppet government in the first few days failed miserably. And the reason they appear comfortable holding territory is only because they can’t advance.
At this point, the best case scenario for Russia would be to go west of the Dnieper river, take Odessa, landlock Ukraine and control land running from Russia proper all the way down the Black Sea coast to Transnistria/Moldova, and leave the Euromaidan regime in Kiev to be the EU's mess. This would be much more preferable for the Russians than invading and occupying hostile anti-Russian areas in western Ukraine. Why choose the latter and have what Napoleon Bonaparte termed an "ulcer"?
And what's victory for Ukraine? Returning to the 2013 borders, or at the bare minimum to the Minsk Accords that the Euromaidan regime and NATO ahowed such contempt for before the Russian invasion when they were killing people in the Donbass. What are the chances of Ukraine achieving their definition of "winning"? Ask the warmongers in the Pentagon and CIA.
