War is a dynamic phenomenon, after all.

Doesn't change the fact that this 3 week operation, is now a 1000+ day embarrassment for Russia. Where instead of taking Ukraine in 3 weeks, they've only managed 20% in almost 3 years, and at extreme cost of both human lives and war material. Plus they've committed a long string of war crimes.

I don't see how any tankie can turn this to look good for Russia, except flat out lying about it.

Even worse, their propaganda outlets were reporting three days at the onset

AFAIK the estimate given to Putin was 3 weeks, 3 days was media hype, I'm not going to repeat that nonsense.
