Russia never expected this. They were told that Zelenskyy would flee to Poland when the invasion started and their troops would be marching down the Kreshchatyk in Kyiv in their parade uniforms after 3 days.
Wonder if you will flamed for that statement, the “usuals “ when the 3 day thing is brought up tell “that’s not true”, so i guess smo is going according to plan
Imagine how much money is being saved not having to service all those ships and planes no longer “operational “
