Actually, I’m summarizing what Putin has said himself. Just read his statements about “historical Russia”, how the war is about reestablishing Russia’s “full sovereignty”, how Ukrainians are actually Russians and not a separate nationality, how the West in the past artificially manufactured the idea of a Ukrainian nation to split Russia, how the West today is using this artificial Ukraine to “split Russia.”

These are ideas that Putin has repeatedly expressed. Pretending that he hasn’t said then is willful ignorance.

A bunch of often repeated out of context quotes combined with confirmation bias and fear mongering hardly constitutes a clear list of objectives from Putin. You have just shared a bunch of meaningless gobbledygook that is hardly an indication of anyone’s military objectives. If anyone is suffering from “willful ignorance” it is, you.
