Just because they grossly underestimated the resistance (in hindsight) does not mean they weren't aiming high.
You don’t take a city of close to 3mm with 100k troops. It was a gamble that didn’t work to see if Ukrainians would get spooked and lay down. When they didn’t they just ran back.
Look at Bakhmut a city that had less than 1/4 the population of Kiev and the amount of troops it took on both sides. That’s a real attempt to take a city.
