The NY Times? When is the last time they were an honest broker? Seriously, point us to any article over the last 4-5 years that was truthful?

So did they take it, or not? Because if not, that means they failed, and are in retreat. There's no other alternative if if you also accept the premise that the Russian were attempting to take Kyiv.
Again, no propaganda or mainstream news source is even necessary to understand one core truth - the Russians did not have enough troops allocated to this attack if the Ukrainians didn't fall apart under the initial assault. Anyone who is honest and understands modern warfare knows that.
