1) This series of maps, from @nytimes, is further evidence of my assertion that the Russian military didn't just cobble together its offensive after the initial assault on Hostomel Airport failed. Maps show time lapse of the Kiev battlespace from Feb. 24 (D+0) to March 1.

2) The Russians have had their problems and setbacks, without a doubt. I expected them to have logistical issues. The RUSMIL is based on the Soviet system after all. But don't confuse those problems with a lack of a wider battle plan.

@cdrsalamander put this best in his must read article from yesterday: "As Russians do, they make up for lack in attention to detail with simple mass." This is what we are seeing the RUSMIL do now.

4) Note that some RUSMIL forces moving south from Ukraine appear to have turned east towards the RUSMIL units moving southwest from Kurst. If this succeeds and the Russians can hold that line, Chernihiv and much of Sumy province will be enveloped.

5) Again, a pincer movement such as this isn't just planned, organized, and executed on the fly.

I believe he may need to run the next time he hears a jet headed his way. Very fortunate he is alive.

This is what Putin wants...and its going to start happening more and more and more. The looting due to starvation is going to increase and cause chaos once the Ukranians start running out of food and water. Those people whipping him will be doing the same thing in short time. The panic and fear of no food is absolutely starting to set in. This part of Putin's plan is going right on que. The media just doesn't want to acknowledge just how bad this is about to become. When the despair of hunger sets in...looting to stay alive becomes a necessity. I feel bad for that guy to be honest. He is just trying to stay alive. Desperate times create desperate actions. We shouldn't be glorifying these people for whipping him.

It’s more about just criminals up to this point. Releasing them from prison was a terrible idea. There’s been gunfights every day in Kiev and the Russian military isn’t even there. There was an american there that made a video about it

I saw that and believe me...i get it!! What i saw with my own eyes in Iraq was something i don't wish upon anybody. I am just telling you the reality. It's war...there are no crimes...just survival! This is where Putin is winning. He is forcing the Ukrainians into irrational decisions that are going to end up having devastating consequences. Those very same criminals are going to do everything they can to survive as well...its human nature.

Why fight street to streets with civilians when you can just cut off food, water and power and let them fight each other. It was always going to be what he did if they didn't outright welcome them into the cities. Sacking a city with a modern military would give western powers an excuse to enter the war.

Destroy infrastructure and sit around and wait for them to surrender. In cities of millions supplies run out in days, not months.

Agreed, are there any sources other that guy? It could easily just be saboteurs causing the chaos.

I see a ton of videos / pictures of abandoned Russian equipment from all over Ukraine this morning.

I take everything with a huge grain of salt, but there are a LOT of those images.

I don't know about all that.

I did see that same guy doing a video interview with RT. So... not sure if he's credible or not.

I didn’t sense the guy was lying about it. It’s not like it’s completely out of the realm of possibility. There are pro Russian elements there, there are criminals, and the situation is getting dire

It's looking like a 15 day war, thus far.

So Russia is hoping to have this done by next week, at least if these plans are correct.
