The Pentagon said earlier this week it will take at least three weeks to get the precision U.S. weapons and trained troops onto the battlefield.

Belarus has been moving massive military equipment to the border. If they attack Ukraine, it would make sense from Russia's perspective. Ukraine too busy fighting Russian invaders far away and has less troops near Belarus.
Hope I am wrong about Russian invaders attacking Kyiv again, but explosions occurred in the Capitol.

Yeah, they are greatly outgunned. NATO is very slow in supplying weapons. They wait to see what damage Russia has done to Ukraine and send some weapons. I have been saying Ukraine needs long-range weapons and air defense system such as C-RAM two weeks into the war.

The Russian may be able to hit Kiev with missiles, but clearly lack the resources to send in troops. They would be able to send in trouble makers, but no real troops capable of holding the city.
They are having a hard enough time keeping some of the smaller towns.

There is no need to take a city when you can bomb to a rubble, as they did in Mariupol, if the goal is destroy Ukraine's livelihood.

You're not wrong; it was in the news yesterday. And here's more:

Quote:
Russia took aim Sunday at Western military supplies for Ukraine, launching airstrikes on Kyiv that it claimed destroyed tanks donated from abroad, as Vladimir Putin warned that any Western deliveries of long-range rocket systems would prompt Moscow to hit “objects that we haven't yet struck.”

Update from Sieverodonetsk's mayor this morning:
Quote:
Control of Sievierodonetsk in eastern Ukraine is split in half between Ukrainian and Russian forces, Luhansk governor Serhiy Gaidai has said.

“It had been a difficult situation, the Russians controlled 70 per cent of the city, but over the past two days they have been pushed back,” Mr Gaidai said on Ukrainian television.

“The city is now, more or less, divided in half.”
Quote:
Russia may be using separatist forces in the bloody warzone to limit the losses to its own troops, UK experts suggest. [...]
The MoD added “These troops are poorly equipped and trained, and lack heavy equipment in comparison to regular Russian units.”
