“Putin does not have plans to occupy Ukraine”

Then why launch an offensive attack?

They only plan to occupy the part they’ve already declared to be no longer part of Ukraine. Voila, no occupation.

To occupy Ukraine.

Putin is dangling phrases for objectors to get tangled in, while his troops invade and take control.

“Putin does not have plans to occupy Ukraine”

One of the Intelligence indicators of whether the Russians intend to occupy or not, is if they have mobilized the types of forces that they would use for occupation duties (National Guard Units).

They have.

Why would he bomb Kiev if he doesn’t plan on occupying Ukraine?

As a disinterested person, not paying much attention, I ask the question, what is the beef?

Hubby thinks it’s that there is now a non-Russian gov running Ukraine and Putin doesn’t like that. Wants a buffer state. And the buffer state can only be such by being pro-Russian/Putin.

States basically he wants to overthrow the “anti-Russian” admin and install pro, which makes it basically a puppet state.

Sound right everyone?

He did it to validate Biden’s prediction that invasion would happen on Wednesday. Joe just got the week wrong.

Putin doesn’t want the Ukraine. Its corrupt and broke. He’s conducting a surgical operation to clean out some cabal rabble that are joined at the hip with the Biden’s and the EU/NWO.

Because Ukraine army has been shelling the two Russian separatist regions for years and killing lots of them.

So he is taking out the military that did that.

Much like Israel does.
