Oh my... your links proving how wrong and utterly disconnected from reality the Russians were concerning the duration of the war... will produce another round of exploding heads.
For good measure here is yet another link from Dear KGB Leader himself from 2014:
Putin Boasts of Being Able to Take Kiev in 2 Weeks
https://time.com/3259699/putin-boast-kiev-2-weeks/
Time.com which links back to NYT in the very first sentence. I don’t get why you idiots think linking to known propaganda networks does anything to bolster your own propaganda. Combine the brain power of all the clowns you pinged and you people couldn’t outwit a gnat. Dumb neocon trash. I’m embarrassed for you all.
