I gotta give it to them, the whole Kiev in 3 days was a very clever bit of propaganda. They created an anchoring effect using a completely fictional scenario, and they've been measuring everything against that for the past two years. Anybody who's not been following the war closely becomes easily convinced that Russia is doing a lot worse than it actually is as a result.
