Bro they could take kyiv any time they just aren't trying dont believe the bbc /sarc
The only way they could have taken it was totally destroying and flattening the city like the way they did it to Grozny/Mariupol. That was never Putins plan in the first place.
It’s not about believing the “BBC”, it’s about what the objectives were for Putin. He wanted a quick victory to take out the Zelensky government and install his own puppet government - similar to the model in Belarus.
He got bad intelligence - both in what would happen if his army did the invasion (he didn’t envisage the stiff resistance) and that his millitary was totally ill equipped and ill prepared for such an adeventure.
This has all happened because the Russian government has become a totalitarian state - Putin has dismantled all the institutions including the media to the opposition to disallow any dissent or debate. The Russian opposition leader was assassinated only 8 years ago and the current one is rotting in jail.
So many journalists have been killed in Russia, all of them ordered by the state.
Considering the amount of natural resources Russia has at its disposal it should have become an economic powerhouse.
Instead Putin focused on Russia to become a ultra national imperial state that is now riddled with corruption and oligarchs plundering the wealth by investing it from Europe to Dubai.
Pakistan has more democracy and media dissent than Russia, that’s how far Russia has fallen back on this front.
