Russia's plan clearly is to reach Kyiv as quickly as possible and force Zelensky to surrender, including Ukrainian forces across the country. If Russia can't take Kyiv quickly or if Zelensky refuses and resistance continues across Ukraine, Russia's costs and problems multiply.

@Bershidsky:
The focus on taking Kyiv is equally mad. There are lots of places the UA govt could relocate to -- but urban warfare in one of Europe's biggest (and most beautiful cities) is just utter insanity from every possible point of view. How does any of this make sense?

RT @apmassaro3: Do a no-fly zone. If Russian planes defy it, shoot them down. It wouldn’t be the first time NATO shoots down a Russian jet. Preventing mass death by aerial bombardment is not escalation

Interestingly, Russia's plan resembles its operation in Crimea in 2014 in some ways. There was clearly a hope that if they moved fast enough, with VDV and SOF, and targeted some key Ukr capabilities, they could achieve a fait accompli with minimal violence. That didn't happen. 2/

RT @JasminMuj: The ferocity of the Ukrainians’ resistance is shattering the illusion of Putin’s political and strategic genius. He has always been, primarily, a beneficiary of Western appeasement. He played the cards we allowed him to play. That mistake can never be repeated.
