    I don’t think they even want Kyiv. Western Ukraine is rife of neo-Nazis, making it impossible to occupy long-term.

      I thought they were liberating rather than occupying?

        The difference, geographically, between “liberating” and “occupying” can be found in the the decade-long civil war after the US-backed 2014 coup and the Minsk Accords. Kit Klarenberg: Civil War in Donbass 10 Years On

          Seriously. You can show them objective facts from multiple sources from around the world with completely disparate editorial incentives and they’ll just troll you. Then years later you can show them THEIR OWN SIDE admitting that very same thing and even then they’ll just continue as they were with the same profoundly unserious, trite attitude towards the subject. Lol.
