... a invasão da Ucrânia a que chamou pudicamente "operação especial", que era para durar uma semana e já vai, se não estou enganado, em 218 semanas...
«Russia's internal expectations for the war were remarkably short. Documents found inside Russian tanks described how the "special military operation" would conclude in just ten days. Ukraine also captured "flagship" tanks — the kind used in parades — along with military parade uniforms, suggesting that Russia expected to stage a victory parade in Kyiv after a swift campaign. Wikipedia
The broader picture painted by the evidence is even more striking. After the invasion began, Ukrainian and Western analysts assessed that Putin seemed to have believed Russian forces would be capable of seizing Kyiv within days, leading to the conclusion that "taking Kyiv in three days" had been the original goal. This narrative was reinforced by statements from Aleksandr Lukashenko and Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russian state broadcaster RT. The Security Service of Ukraine also released a video showing a captured Russian soldier claiming his unit had been sent into Ukraine with food supplies for only three days. Wikipedia
Russia's invasion plan involved defeating Ukraine within ten days and capturing or killing its government, followed by "mopping up" operations, establishing filtration camps, setting up occupation regimes, and eventually annexing territory. Wikipedia
Three days after the invasion began, the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti mistakenly published a pre-written article called "Russia's Coming and the New World," prepared in anticipation of a quick Russian victory, which announced that "Ukraine had returned to Russia." Wikipedia
Of course, none of this came to pass. By April 2022, the invasion's initial goal of a rapid victory via decapitation had failed, with Ukraine pushing back the northern arm of the invasion and preventing the capture of Kyiv. The war has now dragged on for over three years, becoming the largest conflict in Europe since World War II. Wikipedia»
