In a few years I'd actually like to know what that was, they just kind of turned around and drove home. And no-one has any competent or realistic explanation as to what it was and why it went home.
Because they didn't seek to occupy and fight a guerrilla war in all of Ukraine. They sought to secure crimea by sea and land routes, and secure the water supplies delivered from the Dnieper river. The invasion was never about claiming a bunch of Ukrainian land. What would Russia do in kyiv anyway besides fight insurgency?
