-Ukrainian troops found Russian military documents in Sumy Oblast, officials said on Telegram. -The abandoned military documents suggested that Putin had plans to seize all of Ukraine. -Russian troops retreated from Kyiv in early April and have since focused on taking eastern Ukraine.
Fleeing Russian soldiers left behind key military documents that indicated Russian President Vladimir Putin had plans to seize all of Ukraine, the director of Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigation said in a Telegram statement on Wednesday.
Ukrainian forces discovered the documents while searching through the northeastern town of Trostyanets in Sumy Oblast, the statement said.
Trostyanets, located about 230 miles from the capital, Kyiv, was liberated by Ukrainian troops in late March after a monthlong Russian occupation, The New York Times reported.
Investigators found "important documents of soldiers of the Russian Federation's Armed Forces that give a clear understanding that Russia was preparing to seize all the territory of Ukraine," Oleksiy Sukhachev, the director of Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigation, said in the statement.
"All this information will be studied," the statement continued.
Insider has not seen the documents and has not been able to independently verify the claims.
Sukhachev said Ukrainian officials had inspected over 2,000 hectares of the destroyed town since its liberation.
Aside from the documents, soldiers also found that more than 300 residential buildings had been permanently damaged, Sukhachev said. A number of unexploded shells and bombs had also been found, he added.
The Russian military papers appeared to confirm earlier assessments by Western officials that Putin had plans to swiftly take all of Ukraine, but failed to do so.
Russian troops — who expected to seize Kyiv within days — retreated from the capital in early April and refocused their offensive in Ukraine's eastern region.

Ukraine has absolutely failed at being Independent.
I agree with you absolutely.
Do you actually believe such nonsense? Plain and simple, Putin doesn’t believe that Ukraine is a legitimate nation and that it rightfully belongs to Russia. It was never about genocide, Nazis, or biolabs. It was always just a simple land grab.
Putin went back in time and planted those documents on the dead soldiers to keep the nazis off balance. That guy is such a genius!
It may or may not be true. The real question: Do you believe it?
“Insider has not seen the documents and has not been able to independently verify the claims.”
Yeah, and Trump hired hookers when in Moscow, Trump was a Russian plant, yeah, right. Fact is Trump is the only one questioning Senile Joe’s war, war, war, cheerleading. Sad part is much of America has been hood winked into Biden’s war….
Yes, I always leave my top secret plans with enlisted soldiers out in the field (who have stated previously that they thought they were on a training mission).

** The Times [British Newspaper counted 5 Russian colonels killed in Ukraine so far}
*** On 23 April 2022, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense reported a strike on a Russian 49th Combined Arms Army command post in Kherson Oblast, killing two generals and critically injuring one.
**** Colonel Yuri Medvedev [Commander 37th Motor Rifle Brigade] One of the officers from the brigade’s tank battalions blamed Medvedev for the deaths of his friends and co-workers: two of the brigade’s battalion tactical groups, totaling around 1,500 men had lost “about 50% of their personnel,” and “many soldiers were injured in various degrees of gravity.”
In protest, one of the officers ran over Medvedev with a tank during a “convenient moment” amid the fighting and injured both of the brigade commander’s legs. The injured brigade commander is currently in a hospital in Belarus
Perhaps I should disregard close friends, who I have known for years, that are in Lugansk, now and believe the 🦬💩 from an anonymous interwebs person?
And?
According to a report from Bellingcat, Sergey Beseda, head of the Fifth Service (section of the FSB, dedicated entirely to monitoring the political, social and political climate within the former Republics of the Soviet Union, like Ukraine) managed to convinced Putin he had succeeded in raising a huge and highly effective domestic insurgency within Ukraine. He took that money and deliberately lied to Putin for the sole purpose of lining his own pockets. Putin took everything Beseda told him as the truth.
The deception seems to have begun quite soon after the seizure of Crimea. Beseda and his cronies told Putin what he wanted to hear, believing Putin would never act on any of it. Beseda’s partners in crime were greedier and less disciplined than their boss, however, and as time went on, it seems the fictions became ever grander and more fanciful.
The insurgents had multiple hidden stockpiles of weapons, emergency food, ammunition - all paid for from the Fifth Service’s budget. Putin refunded them the outlay and they went and spent the money on flashy lifestyles. in fact, a lot of Russia’s kackhanded logistics at the start of the invasion can probably be explained by the fact that they genuinely believed the logistical supplies were already in place.
At Hostomel, on day one of the invasion, VDV soldiers were running around the runway buildings going “What’s going on? Where’s or welcome? Where are the partisans? How are we supposed to secure this on our own?”
Putin planned on assimilating Ukraine into Muscowy. This was clear when he sent paratroopers and a large column to capture Kyiv
Then why lose thousands of soldiers and hundreds of tanks trying to capture Kyiv?
Why send paratroopers to try and get the president?
Putin has continuously said since 2000 that he wants to get the Tsardom back together.
Ukraine has been independent now for 30 years. It has had in 2019 a peaceful transfer of power.
Is it corrupt? Yes, but it is improving.
Russia in contrast is corrupt and isn6improving.
Are Ukrainians Angel’s? No. But they are trying to get better.
80 years after independence the USA went into a civil war. Do you consider that meant the USA failed at being independent?
“Russia’s fears of NATO’s expansion”
That’s false Russian propaganda you are spouting.
1. Every one if the countries that joined NATO did so willingly, in fact requesting to join. Why? Because Russia invades non NATO countries as seen in 2008 and 2014 and 2022.
2. Russia fears NATO? NATO has had a border with Russia since 1947 and its inception, since Norway borders Russia.
NATO didn’t put troops in Poland or the Baltics until Putin invaded Ukraine. That was not to antagonize Russia.
NATO acknowledged Russia’s securiy concerns regarding Ukraine becoming a member of NATO in 2008.
Ukraine and Georgia applied to join NATO in 2008. Their membership was declined because of German and French concerns of unnecessarily antagonizing Russia. The result of declining them membership in June of 2008 was the Russo-Georgian war six weeks later.
NOTE. Ukraine and Georgia applied to join NATO, NATO declined because of ‘legitimate’ security concerns Russia alledgedly had and Russia invaded Georgia six weeks later.
Does it seem like “addressing Russian security concerns” made them less likely to invade their neighbors? The obvious answer is no, it didn’t. It just opened a way for them to launch an unprovoked invasion of the smaller neighbor.
This war could be prevented, if Ukraine was accepted into NATO in 2008, perhaps as a response to the invasion of Georgia.
Don’t forget also that Yanukovych spent most of 2012 and 2913 working on a joint Free Trade Association agreement with the EU - with overwhelming majority support across all mainstream parties in government - and he single handedly mothballed it after a meeting with Putin on 17th December 2013.
The seal ge signed in Moscow without even consulting his own party let alone parliament was a bit like Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac. 6 months tops of a sub-prime bailout with clauses to hand effective control of ALL Ukraine’s debts to Russia. Foreclosure guaranteed a hostile takeover by the Kremlin.
In short Yanukovych took a massive bribe to bankrupt Ukraine in a way that contractually obliged Russia to take over.
Whrn people talk about Yanukovych being “deposed”they forhet he was impeached first. And, many of the MPs who’d supported him only 12 months earlier voted Guilty.
To orovd he could still be President he green lit the invasion of Crimea and ordered the Ukrainian defences not to stand in their way.
If even a scale of high treason as big as that’s not good grounds for impeachment and an arrest warrant, then nothing is.
Sorry for the typos, i’m on a bumpy train.
