That was never not the plan....made quite clear when Zelenski wouldn’t comply with the Minsk agreement. Both sides knew what the result would be as he warnings wer given for years.
Comply or not, land grab thru invasion will never be acceptable by Ukraine or the West. Putin miscalculated.
Please stop repeating this lie. Ukraine did not comply with Minsk because neither did Russia, which claimed it wasn't a party to Minsk at all and so had no reason to withdraw its heavy weapons.
Both sides knew what the result would be as he warnings wer given for years.

Exactly. Who is winning here,there, etc….One thing is clear:
Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP …… the war ends on Vlad’s terms….and there is nothing the corrupted West can do about it.
You are talking about the Minsk agreement ?? That is nothing compared to the real thing : The Budapest Memorandum that Russia, Ukraine, USA, England SIGNED !
Only Russia violated it.
Yes, Russia totally VIOLATED the BUDAPEST MEMORANDUM, where Russia promised to Never attack Ukraine, RESPECT its borders., and so on...
The Kremlin is a bunch of deep-state neocon warmongering fools. A badly organized mafia dreaming to reconstruct old commie soviet-union.
