They didn't seem to target infrastructure around that area.

There is still the big armies waiting in Russia to come in.
Ukrainians are alreaady loosing against that, they will be crushed totally once they send the real forces.
Air force is also playing a very small game there. They rely more on choppers.
Ukraine need to surrender fast. They are leading their soldier to death for no reason.

Now obviously most of these Ukrainian planes are flying blind with probably zero direction from ground based radar.

They will get the last unfinished Slava class... A clean up and modernization to give people work there would be worth it.

The first big mistake was done by Soviet leaders who separated Ukraine from Russia to create this new nation.
The second big mistake was done in the 1990s and 2000s when the West entered Ukraine with their NGO’s while Russia did not do a thing to fight for its own interests in the country (well, except pouring billions of dollars to Ukrainian state coffins annually without getting anything in return).
Ukraine was lost to Russia because of Russia’s own mistakes and apathy.
Now it is too late. This invasion will just make Ukrainians hate Russians even more passionately. Russia can never win back Ukraine again.
And this unifies the West against Russia. Countries like Germany and France will now be camped tighter with the British and Americans.
People in Washington are celebrating now. Russia – even if it scores a big military victory against Ukraine – lost the big war. The war that matters.
Prove me wrong, if you can.
You never know how things can develop,
I dont think Russia cares much about EU , or the US at this point, that ship sailed , China is much better partner than EU and is with Russia on this
As far as Ukraine, if they can achieve to replace Zelensky with Medvedchuk or some apparatus similar, then it will be a success
Russia normalized Hungary and Czechoslovakia, we are watching normalization of Ukraine
If radical elements are removed, then Ukraine will return to at least a neutral state, that's the minimum this intervention seeks

Hey, they have taken an airport in Kiev already, IMHO they are going in fast for the jugular in order to finish off the regime and prevent loss of life and infrastructure. It is fucking risky to send VDV to such a spot and surely there is a good reason for that.

But how can Russia expect a Russia-friendly leader to stay in power in Ukraine without actually occupying Ukraine?

Was a VDV landing and its unconfirmed who even holds it at this point has Kiev forces quickly counter attacked.

On the other hand, I see a bright future for the less psychotic half of "404 Country Not Found".

Occupation today is not like 20th century, you dont need 100,000 men occupying Kiev
Simply 2000 men and airbase like Latakia, Like Abkhazia will do to give legitimacy to the new regime, as well as FSB cleaning out the SBU and removing CIA from the country
That enough will place Ukraine on a new path

Needs to focus on airforce more and create more PGM for these situations and ARM. There shouldn’t be any Ukrainian planes or choppers flying at this point honestly. But Russia has very little experience with sead. This is their first real war where they go up against half decent air defensive.
Now obviously most of these Ukrainian planes are flying blind with probably zero direction from ground based radar.
Yes, Russians don't have designated SEAD/DEAD, it would be a shame if with new UAVs they are designing, they wouldn't build a taskforce for that.

NATzO minions. All they ever do during their invasions is to attack civilian infrastructure.

Check videos. It will take hundreds of millions to make it up and running. If they can find workforce for it.

I believe this also don't forget that there wasn't much demand for russians to arrive in this area. It's different around Luhansk, Donetsk.
