Liberating Donetsk and Lugansk and building a land bridge from Crimea to mainland Russia were THE territorial objectives going into the war.

Those are the "main objectives" now, since they completely failed at taking Kiev and forcing a full surrender the first week or two of the "special military operation".

The goal was NEVER to take Kiev. No army is going to take a city of nearly three million with 40,000 troops.

You're are completely ignorant about war strategy.
