Goals of Putin's "special operations": from complete subjugation to revenge for defeat

In fact, everything is simple: some do not want to answer directly (narrow circle), because a lot has already failed, and the rest (broad circle) simply do not know what goals the leader will announce to the Russians after his defeat...

Real goals, which they do not publicly announce, are as follows (in order to approach failure of these stages and total defeat):

1. To completely conquer Ukraine and Ukrainians through full occupation.

2. To seize most of the territory, including the capital, and prevent de-occupation.

3. Seize a significant part of Ukrainian lands in the South and East of Ukraine.

4. To leave at least something under occupation and annexation.

5. Only take revenge on the people of Ukraine for their defeat.

Now, under the pressure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they are moving from the third to the fourth stage. And soon the fifth will come.

In fact, it is already partially applied, which is evidence of the immutability of such a scenario: from a desire to completely take control of Ukraine to pitiful revenge on ordinary residents.

But after this fifth stage, ours will certainly come: victory over Russian aggressors and invaders!
