Why this specifically? Oh, right, because the narrative actually was widely peddled by Russian propaganda and its closest ally Belarus/Lukashenko: https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/1498185064617762816 ("3-4 days at most")

So you have to raise the standards in order to save Russian propaganda from its own arrogance and delusions. Nice try, but no.

“That is not the question,” Putin reportedly said. “But if I wanted to, I could take Kiev in two weeks.”

Not three days, but two weeks have also long passed, no?

You want a source for something I haven't stated? 😅

His buddy Lukashenko was convinced that it takes only 3-4 days. That's what I'm quoting. https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/1498185064617762816
