When Putin’s forces invaded in February 2022, they expected to take Kyiv in days and finish off remaining resistance in weeks.
This is an abject fucking lie! Anyone who bothered to listen to the speech Putin gave days before the incursion, where he listed out Russia's STATED GOALS and what the Russian Parlement had authorized, would know that the above statement is total fucking horseshit. This has been the talking point used by the Mockingbird Press to suggest that Ukraine was winning and has no basis in reality. Putin stated VERY CLEARLY that "taking Kiev" was never a consideration.
Russia drew the line at the Donbass and, plus or minus a few hundred square miles, have maintained their position on that line since about 1 month into the incursion.
Lol. No. The US tried to make Ukraine a proxy war against Russia and the backfire has been stupendous. China, India, Russia and Iran have never been closer, while Europeans pay 40% more for their energy because the US blew up their pipeline.
