    they have both Russian and Ukrainian claims there now. Also the invasion does seem to be going... not well, but it's hard to say with a complete lack of data on Ukrainian casualties.

      They surrounded Kiev inside two days. How badly could it possibly be going?

        I agree Russia is very likely to win - they haven't committed very many of their available forces - but TBF Kiev is pretty close to the border, and they seem to have driven a spear into it

      I think you might be overestimating how quickly even a very successful military operation of this scale is able to go.

      The US took twice as many soldiers into Iraq, a country that is smaller, less populated, and completed isolated compared to Ukraine, and it took them a month to subdue the country.

      Russia is taking half as many soldiers in as the US into a bigger country that is receiving constant Intel and weapons from NATO and has made significant territorial gains in the first 3 days.

      The real question is whether this pace is sustainable for the Russians and whether Ukrainian resistance will stiffen or crumble in the coming weeks.
