Sure, that was the plan all along. That's why they flew in troops to grab the local airport. Dividing the Russian attack in four columns was stupid.

Day 38 of my 3 day war. My army advances backwards after a glorious defeat in Kiev & I am reminded of when I said I could conquer the city in 2 weeks.
I remain a master strategist
Who said it is a three day war? I didn’t hear it. It is not shock and awe by all objective accounts. If you want a three day war and shock and awe look what happens if Poland stupidly enters the war.
Apparently that is their standard operating procedure. They used (elite) airborne troops to capture Kabul quickly, execute their leaders and cause the government to fall. By then, they can flood in the capital with conscripts after the command and control by their enemy collapsed. But the Ukrianians were prepared for that so that attack failed.
