He is, but he needs the army and Secret Service to stay in power so problem in case of a refusal by the Secret Service, police or military, to keep order and defend his regime.

A front in the North distracts Ukrainian forces from the South and East.
Also, war of attrition: the Kyiv region is I think home to a big share of Ukrainian economy not formed by heavy industry.

Do you see any chances that the Kerch bridge can be destroyed? I would not risk bombers and drones do not carry enough explosives, but it is almost in reach for ukrainian neptune missiles.

Think it is better to destroy the supply lines and depots behind enemy lines is more effective.

Putin problem is that Russians do not want a war they happy with an operation so their sons and husbands do not have to die most people fighting now are from the former Soviet Union southern republics the poorest and criminals with fighting experience.

If Russia wants to take Kyiv, it cannot evade massing troops in the Norht of the city, US stallites may see it, or not - they must am,ass tropps for such an attack.
In WW2, the first German attack on Kyiv also was repelled. After some time went by, the Wehrmacht nevertheless attacked it a second time, and this time successfully. The Sovjet Union needed two years to take the city back. There were reports in recent days that Ukrainian troops hastily lay mines in Kyiv's North and along the border.

Negotiations to unblock grain ports begin in Istanbul
The quadrilateral talks on the export of Ukrainian grain with the participation of delegations of Ukraine, Turkey, the UN and Russia began in Istanbul. These are the first talks Ukraine and Russia have had with U.N. and Turkish officials to break the months-long deadlock over Ukrainian grain exports blocked by Russia. Because Ukraine is a vital exporter of wheat and grain, Russia's invasion of the country has caused food prices to spike and millions of people face starvation worldwide. Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said earlier that "we are two steps away from an agreement with Russia. The Minister added that he sees only one potential reason why Russia might change its position on the grain blockade. The Foreign Ministry stressed that the country advocates that the issue of unblocking the Ukrainian grain be resolved under the aegis of the UN. On the eve of the meeting in Istanbul, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had telephone conversations with Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, in which they discussed the problems of grain exports from Ukraine and the need to create corridors in the Black Sea.
