    Kiev, Kharkiv, and Mariupol are all incredbibly close to the borders, Kiev is only 150 km from the Belarussian border, hence why getting Belarus on their side was important. It's not that they have gone far into Ukraine, it's that they just didn't need to go far in the first place to hit the major cities. If they were in Lviv, then we could say they have gone far

    Ukraine is a flat country mostly, the ability to defend is not the greatest

        Not a great comparison. You would have to compare just the beginning stages of Barbarossa to this invasion. The germans only got bogged down as the war dragged on.
