Nope. Russia’s original goal at the outset was to depose the Zelensky government by seizing control of Kyiv. That goal became untenable due to the losses of thousands of military vehicles and their crews.

The Russians now have two strategic failures:

a) the failure of the initial invasion to install a puppet regime in Kiev;

b) the failure of the current operation to conduct a Kesselschlacht destroying enough of the UA to force Kiev to sue for peace and leave Russia in control of the territories it has now seized.

The big question is whether Kiev will have the forces to shove the Russians out of much of the territory they now hold.
