I so wish there was a way to send in several squadrons of A-10s too turn that column of Russian vehicles into a column of smoldering twisted metal.

At least drones from Poland. Who's to know?
Something had to prevent them from at hitting that convoy in an attempt to prevent it from reaching the city. That or there is something planned that I just can't figure out.

Right, just addressing the point about capability.
As far as willingness goes, bullies don't want a fight; bullies want an easy victory. A stern and solid face without panic or exotic concerns is what's called-for.

Or there is no single big convoy as described.

I suspect they may be "allowing" the convoy to pass before attacking with a plan of concerted attack that breaks it into manageable "pieces".
It is an old tactic and if I were a Russian in that convoy, I'd be nervous AF...

Ukrainian capabilities may have been degraded enough to prevent what we all see as possible (stopper up the leading vehicles, plug the rear vehicles, and have a shooting gallery). Night ops are tough, especially if your troops aren't fully-trained, or is ammo is low.
Cities are, however, troop-sponges. The Russians may yet regret actually reaching Kyiv.

In case anyone's interested in a long read...here's the summary of today's opening day of the General Assembly emergency session. The session reconvenes tomorrow. Interestingly, Brazil and China both struck rather conciliatory tones in their comments today.
Satellite images say otherwise.
That's what I'm thinking/hoping.
Thats exactly what inspired post.

I was never so proud of my beloved Air Force. We did not forget Falaise, we only made it hurt worse the next go-round.
It's a shame the Ukrainians couldn't turn the trick, but from what I've read that convoy has reached Kyiv. Hopefully the city will help sponge up Russian troops. Urban fighting is the toughest fighting, I think.

The convoy is stretched out roughly 40 miles currently.
That is one big-ass target, to be honest - I simply cannot beleive Russian strategists are that stupid.

Wasn't their jump-off point 40 miles north already?
I said the same thing. It is an A-10 pilots dream. The vehicles are so close to one another too. Very poor discipline.
Republicans introduce joint resolution demanding Russia lose permanent seat on UN Security Council
Several high-profile Republicans are introducing a joint resolution calling on President Biden to pressure the United Nations to strip Russia of its permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, which gives Moscow a veto over the council's resolutions.
