they got very close to get the entirety of ukraine in one move, to be honest. if z had fled or got successfully killed by russian special forces, or if they didnt prepare for the landings at hostomel airport ukraine probably would have collapsed. the problem now is that putin used all his chips and cannot back down anymore, even temporarily. he surrounded himself with hyenas who only respect power so he knows he cannot afford to look weak. he will fight to the last russian because its all or nothing now for him.
