Feel free to show where they were supposed to be kicked out in 'days'? I will admit I initially didn't think they'd last longer than a month or so. [Don't underestimate Russia's patience] I see that your own thoughts at the start were 'slightly optimistic'. Will you pro-war/Kyivs ever learn?
Agree that one of the goals of UAF incursion into Russia is to motivate Russians to stand up to the dictator. Time frame of holding on to Russian territory however is not short term IMO. Ukraine did not invade into Russia but just expanded its borders with total control of all important logistics and firing capabilities.
Russian's with all the air superiority and fire power took two years to advance 20Km in Donbas. Now that UAF is close to getting even in Air power and ammunition, how many decades Russians will take to re-capture 30Km of Kursk Ukraine has taken?
