Scott Ritter has made the claim the "dash toward Kyiv" was a fixing operation designed to pin down Ukrainian troops. blow up ammunition and fuel dumps while shaping the battlefield in Donbass. That strategy has worked and will likely continue working until Ukraine runs out of cannon fodder, and Zelensky gets on a plane for London or Miami.I don't recall where I first saw it, but the fact is that making a dash toward Kyiv without first securing his supply lines indicated that Putin expected a quick victory and a spectacular demonstration of incompetence.
