I do think Kiev should be taken but it should not be rushed. Such urban battles are immensely costly. For now the focus should be on trying to approach the city from several directions.
Putting Kiev under siege with thousands of Russian forces at close proximity is certainly a good development and will put a lot of pressure towards the Nazi regime in Ukraine and its NATzO sponsors. I'm sure Russia has the capacity to muster enough resources and manpower for this kind of operation, but much depends on the current mood of the Russian leadership, if it have the political capital to pursue such actions.
Ukraine may still have a couple of hundreds of thousands or even a million cannon fodders that it can pluck from the streets to use as meat shields against Russia, this may prove a big nuisance to Russia's further advances, therefore, as I already advocated many times, Russia needs to hit all Food storage and Water facilities in all of Ukraine to kick start a massive Starvation of the entire population. A big cannon fodder army also needs big food and water supply, make food and water supply scarce, and the entire Ukrainian cannon fodder army starves to Death.
Also, imposing famine in Ukraine will make it very costly for Ukraine's NATzO sponsors to maintain its support as food prices across the world continue to skyrocket. Perhaps this will even provoke mutiny and local riots among the local population in NATzO counties, destabilizing its political leadership.
We must remember that NATO is already waging an All Out War of Extermination against Russia, using its Ukrainian proxies. Russia should have no qualms in Exterminating its enemies. Therefore starving Ukrainians to Death is a fully justified and legal action.
Now start hitting those Food and Water targets now Asap! There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth! The prophecy needs to be fulfilled. Kill them all!
