First it’s just my opinion just a theory based on what I learned here and there it will probably be proven wrong as many others, anyway here it is :

Russians are trying to achieve minimum civil casualties . I beleive that shows Putin wants to upset ukrainians people as less as possible. Why ?

Because he has a plan to end it all that implies having a large part of ukrainian people eventually ok with what happened and with Russia.

What is the plan ? Truth (Most sheeps won’t be convinved otherwise).

During peace negociation he asked for things they can’t give : neutrality, out of NATO & EU and the nazi issue… He knows they won’t accept, they are DS… so why did he sat at the table ? for optics, the real military obectives being Kiev and some other specific location of power asap.

To do what ? To replace Ukrainian gvt by one of their choice or even install a military state ? My take is Putin wants regime change but prior to that collect all the data and proof he needs to redpill ukranian peolple on live TV and go back home being sure Ukraine won’t go to NATO again by having a signed treaty on his terms (which is a very important point for Russia).

If that was the strategy it would also need to go a step further and get the US & EU to publically accept the regime change in Ukraine otherwise the whole thing would not legally happen and that would be cold war on and on forever which is bad for everybody. Doing so could also end up with regime change in the US, the EU the end of NATO and more

That would take a hell of a redpill to acheive all that but there’s probably plenty of hardcore evidence to grab and I don’t really see another winning exit at this point

I’ll admit a Russian military plan to redpill the world and securing their border at the same time is kind of a stretch and probably wishful thinking but we live in extraordinary times…

To end this Zelinski could be the first arrest that shocks the world !
