      This is not Advance Wars. You don't win by occupying all the enemy cities. You win by ending the enemy's ability to wage war.

          How? Ukraine's government would just move their operations elsewhere, and occupying the city would be a brutal Staligrad-esque siege that would destroy troop morale and tie up resources. Russia gains nothing from that. The way to wreck a country's ability to wage war is to blow up supply depots and transport links, lure enemy troops and armor into meat grinders, and prioritize taking out AA to make those things possible.

            it's not that easy to just move all the operations of running a war there's a lot of bureacracy involved it isn't just some guys in a hotel room with a whiteboard
