Russia planned to start the invasion with a "massive missile and airstrike campaign" against Ukrainian military targets, RUSI says, with a list also showing who should be killed, who would be intimidated and who would be targeted as a collaborator.
A British defence and security think tank has revealed details of Moscow's pre-invasion plan for Ukraine, based on captured Russian documents apparently signed off by Vladimir Putin.
Russia had planned to take over Ukraine over 10 days and annex it by August this year, the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI) said.

Ever notice it’s always the reporters with British accents that cover all wars everywhere?
My path to knowing it was a fraud was when the initial footage was lifted from a video game.
Do you really want to go there given how Ukraine steadily abhors the Russians to the extent of thinking of them as sub-humans, orcs, etc. and in need of extermination?
“Good morning Mr. Phelps. Your mission Jim, should you accept it, is to take over the Ukraine government and kill all of its leaders. Good luck Jim. This tape will self destruct in 5 seconds...”
The next small country to entertain thoughts of getting over by allowing nato to use it as a proxy against Russia is gonna have to think really long and hard about it...
Even France? Explain?
You are not even close. From Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_United_Services_Institute:
RUSI was founded in 1831 – making it the oldest defence and security think tank in the world – at the initiative of the Duke of Wellington. Its original mission was to study naval and military science.

In 2008 and 2020, RUSI was named Think Tank of the Year by Prospect magazine.
In 2008 and 2011 the magazine named RUSI “Foreign Policy Think Tank of the Year”, and in 2018, RUSI was short-listed in the Economic and Financial as well as the International Affairs categories.
😂
So we are not to heed of what Putin has actually said about Ukraine? I understand your reluctance to address Putin’s statements as they reveal that he has long wanted to annex Ukraine.
As for Ukrainians calling Russians “orcs,” perhaps they would have a more benevolent opinion if Russia didn’t invade and try to take over and exterminate their country.
“Invade”
You mean “invade” like the US did in Iraq and Afghanistan?
“Invade” is a Western/US/EU/UK/NATO talking point, that is it.
It runs contrary to other facts that the four Donbass regions ASKED Russia to INTERVENE on their behalf given the constant Kyiv Regime’s offensives to exterminate Russian speaking Ukrainians and ethnic Russians Ukrainians in those four regions since 2014.
It’s nothing more than word semantics.
Are you threatening Finland now? Perhaps these small countries wouldn’t be clamoring to join NATO if Russia wasn’t so aggressive against its neighbors.
Voted “Think Tank of the Year”
All BS
I don’t think the freeper who posted this story is dumb enough to believe it, and I don’t think sky news are either.
I figure these are posted for entertainment purposes only.
Probably less than 10% of the Ukraine stuff posted to FR is accurate
Yes, when tanks roll across an international border with the goal of conquering a country, that is an invasion. Just because some puppet separatist regime installed and controlled by Moscow asked Russia to invade doesn’t stop it from being an invasion.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. All these stories about Ukrainians bravely fighting to prevent the Russians from taking over their country are utter nonsense. The reality that the Western press refuses to report is that the Ukrainians are actually laying down their arms and welcoming the Russians with open arms as liberators. Right? 🙄
Again, word semantics.
See, for the US/NATO and the West, “invade” is what is utilized as propaganda when it is done by anyone but THEMSELVES....since the US/MATO and the West don’t “invade,” they class what they do as an INTERVENTION.
Since 1900, the list of US INTERVENTIONS.....you know, not “invasion” or “invade”........

Spare me the stench of that hypocrisy.
You probably also belief the Steele dossier don’t you.
Look at the sources—Propaganda—The Brits are good at it—They got us into WW I and WW II didn’t they. Now they will get us into the sticky mess that is the tar pit of Ukraine. How many Americans will die there? When it gets going—many thousands I fear. When, and if , War is declared. Biden and the Democrats will have total war powers. He can rule by Decree.
Thank you for entertaining posting
