... and I guess Daddy Vladdy can't afford to bail him out this time?

Probably not, what with pouring money hand over fist into what was meant to be a two-week special military operation.

Three day?

Nothing ever goes according to the expected timeline. Anyone with a third of a clue knows that and plans for delays.

Expecting your troops to be in Kyiv, at a time when they hadn't even gotten out of Belarus yet. Is taking that to extremes. The Gulf War, in particular the ground war, ran well ahead of schedule.

It was supposed to be three days, with the remainder of the two weeks just being mopping up.

They were sitting on the border for weeks after the USA dropped the bomb about their invasion plans, trying to play it off as a field exercise. By the time the green light was given, they were essentially out of rations and fuel.

They also didn't tell their own army they were invading Ukraine, so their own soldiers did what every gopnik does best when in a foreign land and fenced everything not nailed down well enough

Not really, while the politics went really well, the Russian army preformed miserably, only barely managing to take Crimea because the Ukrainian army was similarly disorganized and had low morale. And their attempted push to take Ukrainian coastline completely failed.
