I think you must have missed the stated objectives of this "special military operation". Overall, it was "demilitarization and denazification" of Ukraine, but more specifically the initial objectives were to secure the Donbass area (DPR and LPR) and Crimea from the planned offensive by the Ukie army. That is initially were the main thrust and focus of RF forces was. At the same time, progress was made, major urban area by major urban area from the north towards Kiev. A specific requirement in this process was to avoid civilian casualties to the greatest extent possible. This was a necessary strategy, for obvious reasons, although those same reasons have never been obvious to the US and its allies when they invaded other nations.
Your idea that the RF forces could just "go to Kiev" was not possible because they would inevitably have been attacked by the significant number of Ukrainian military that were on the DNR and LPR and Crimean borders.
Trust whatever you wantbut you already have a bloodbath in Mariupol and elsewhere.
"Bloodbath" is relative. By most standards, there is no bloodbath in any Ukrainian city.
The Ukrainian military has been being armed, trained and funded for at least 3 years for this event. The Ukrainian politician leadership knew precisely what was going to happen. It was, in effect, planned by them and their Western masters.
It was not possible to "take Kiev in the first few days", for reasons I have explained and many others I have not.
That's very likely, given the way you have interacted here in the past. It seems, however, that what goes on in your head has little relation to objective reality.

This is not 1940. It's not WW2, in which 65 million people died, most of them civilians. It's also not WW3.
Thank you! I‘ve subscribed to them and I’m quite impressed about the detailed reporting on that channel. Now, I don’t know if that is really the official channel of the Russian Ministry of Defense, but judged on the very detailed and quite likely very accurate reporting there, I think there is a good chance that it is the real deal. So if you want to know what is going on on the ground on a hourly/daily basis, it looks like that‘s about as accurate and good as it gets. I’m quite impressed!

I signed up too, by now
According to 2022 Ukraine Military Strength Ukraine had these weapons:

Ukraine had 2596 tanks, at the beginning of the year. 1306 are gone, so 50 % is left
Ukraine had 490 rocket projectors (MLRS) so 25 % of the MLRS are gone, 75 % left.

From Sputniknews:
It's like the US is playing Whac-a-Mole. Every time a country pops it's head up, the US hits them to knock them back down. But if you've ever played the game (it's pretty old now) you know how hard it gets to keep those pesky gophers down. I don't think the US is going to be able to keep up:

The message of Zelenskjy, as a Canadian, speaking to a packed audience, in parliament, strikes me as a bunch of NWOI (Claus Schawb puppets) or those that have been blackmailed to attend, by none other than the puppet master par excellence, of Canada Chrystia Freeland. Which in reality, parliment is in adjournment at this time, sickened me.
the message by Zelensky, to the Canadian Parliament, is nothing more than a beggar, a beggar, that will destroy his own people, to save his life. He looks dreadful, either ravaged by drugs or alcohol, or even death threats, if he does not come up with the goods, so to speak, all dressed up in green, of a combat soldier, as though he has ever entered a combat zone. Laughable! He is reported to be hiding in Poland, who knows in reality,
Another puppet, that is destined to bite he dust, if he does not perform for his masters. Always another waiting in the wings in the Western sphere of influence, bringing freedom and democracy, waving flags of freedom,
Well in Canada's, Country, we all saw, what Canadian Flags bought, waving, freedom, love and democracy. The new age of a totalitarian future, writ large, for all those with eyes and ears., not a future that most Canadian envisioned when they entered the voting booth, Guess we are SOL, because it will never change.
According the the media in Canada, it is being called a "Historic" event.
For those unable to watch this "Historic" event here it is again, a cringe worthy event, in world history a leader of a failed country, thanks to NATO, in a begging pose, to save his skin.

I went over that bit again to make sure I got it right. The sound fails a couple of times, but this is what can be heard, ipsis litteris:
Went to deepL to get a different translation from my own and the result is basically the same:
deepL said:
As for no Russians near Lviv, there's this, for instance:
At Least 66 Ukrainian Army Servicemen And Foreigners Were Killed And Wounded Near Lviv
Local authorities report that as a result of a Russian missile strike on the Yavoriv training range near Lviv, 9...southfront.org

Local authorities report that as a result of a Russian missile strike on the Yavoriv training range near Lviv, 9 Ukrainian army servicemen and foreign instructors were killed and 57 wounded.

On March 13, Russian missiles pounded the Yavorovo military range in Lviv Region. The range is a part of the military facility used in the area by NATO to train Kyiv’s forces in the previous years. The range is the largest in Europe and allows simulation of deployment and offensive of a tank division. The range is used by the U.S., British, and Canadian militaries to train Ukrainian army personnel.
Officially, all NATO instructors had been withdrawn from the country before the conflict began. Most likely, it was mercenaries from NATO countries who came to Ukraine to take part in combat operations against Russia. It is also likely that Kiev is speculating on the deaths of alleged NATO instructors in order to use this as another opportunity to drag the alliance into the Ukrainian conflict
After the start of the Russian military operation, the area became a hub and training center for foreign mercenaries that came to Ukraine.
Lviv authorities claimed that at least 8 missiles hit the facility calling this as the ‘act of Russian aggression’.

edit: although he said "refugees" in that sentence, in the next one he talks about his 'friends stuck in Kiev too' in need of weapons etc . So those refugees might as well be more of his fighter friends.

Announced on Tucker Carlson Tonight, two Fox employees were killed in Ukraine:
"This has been a very difficult day for the Fox News family because two of our coworkers died in Ukraine. Cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and journalist Oleksandra "Sasha" Kuvshynova. They were working with correspondent Benjamin Hall outside Kyiv, when incoming fire hit their vehicle. Benjamin was wounded, and is in the hospital, Pierre and Sasha did not survive," Bret Baier said during an emotional tribute on Tuesday’s edition of "Special Report."

Biden, Pelosi, Killary and who knows who else it seems that these guys are slowly disintegrating before our very eyes. Lying all their lives is taking its toll and perhaps we're witnessing as well some side effects of the Wave on these individuals?
Interesting...
