Yes he did - he clearly spoke of his objectives in Ukraine..in a televised speech.
In Putin’s televised announcements, he also said nothing of attacking Kviv, yet he did. He used the excuse of recognizing the two breakaway provinces as his “justification” for military action, so based on his speech I expected him to roll into the Donblass region the same way he rolled into Crimea in 2014.
But Putin invaded North Ukraine which was never part of his televised “plan.”
