The Russian armed forces had realistic plans to capture Kyiv in three days, but their plans were thwarted by the unexpected resistance and professional actions of the Ukrainian defenders under the command of General Syrsky.
"Kyiv in three days" - the Russians often used this phrase, and as the commander of the Land Forces Oleksandr Pavliuk confirmed in his interview for ICTV, the Russians concentrated mobile and combat-ready units of airborne troops in the Kyiv direction, but the professional actions of the units under the leadership of General Syrsky, who was responsible for the defense of Kyiv, destroyed the plans of the invaders, UNN reports .
These were real plans. The most mobile and combat-ready units of the airborne troops of the Russian armed forces were deployed in the Kyiv direction, with quick plans for rapid movement and rapid capture of objects, including the use of airborne troops and rapid advance by ground transport.
According to him, the Russian Armed Forces met with unexpected professional resistance - the occupiers were forced to change their plans on the fly.
If this had not been the case, then they would have launched a rapid offensive, moved quickly into Kyiv, seized government buildings, raised the Russian flag, and held a parade. These were their plans.
