I personally think the attack on Kiev is a feint and their aim is to encircle the bulk of elite units the Ukrainians have which are in the East of the Dnieper river. Once the troops in the south and north link up they will move the main forces over and mop them up. An attack on Kiev would happen afterwards.

It's possible those units have already been decimated by air strikes and MLRS. They could already be combat ineffective... We don't know what Ukraine's remaining ORBAT is at this point.

It's also possible Ukraine has decided to disperse its forces to prepare an insurgency. As for the question of when Russia might enter Kiev, that's a very tricky question.

US media is now saying Russian forces are 20 miles outside Kiev. But Russia still remembers Grozny, Chechnya. They wouldn't want to rush in armor into an urban environment. Best case for everyone at this point is if Ukraine surrenders before Russia has to send mech infantry in there and start hitting targets with air and artillery.
