What goals are those? In the two weeks they have been battering Kiev they have also failed to gain any ground in the east.
the two weeks they have been battering Kiev
—————
No indication of that, Kiev area hasn’t seen any battering for more than three weeks, Mariupol, southfront and eastern provinces, Vlad even by US DOD admitted Vlad wasn’t retreating, but repositioning for the East.
Time will tell, I expect Vlad is very close to achieving his stated goals.
He has already checkmated the west’s sanctions.
