Putin himself talks at length about the concept of Greater Russia. It's not the USSR we're talking about, it's Russia before the Bolchevik revolution.The West is pushing this notion of Putin wanting to rebuild the USSR, He will never regain countries like Estonia Latvia, Lithuania
They didn't want the capital to wreck it. Putin had no intention to wreck the capital for many reasons, the most important of which being the need for a government seat for his new pro-Russia government.The whole effort of this conflict was to secure eastern Ukraine the part where Putin claimed sovereignty for the separatist in easter Ukraine. I dont think they wanted the capital other than to wreck it. The could drone strike the capital all day.
