I was like 95% certain this would have happened after Ukraine ramped up the ceasefire violations, wasn't expecting a full on invasion.
I agree that Russia was way too eager going into this and I'm pretty sure it's been dragging on for a lot longer than they were expecting despite their pokerfaces about how they never said it was supposed to be a short war. Personally I think them attempting to encircle Kiev right away wasn't a feint as they stated later but a genuine attempt they fucked up. If they had succeeded it would have probably ended the thing way sooner.
I think both sides are gonna want out of this shitshow at some point soon unless somebody significantly shifts the tide in one direction.
