Lets go over all these objectives and examine all of these excuses shall we?
1- First Putin was going to take over all of Ukraine because they are not real people, they were Russians with accents and he was going to swallow it up whole
FAIL
2- Then he said he was going to kill Zelenski or run him out of the country and install his puppet regime
FAIL
3- When that slipped away he said he was going to destroy the entire Ukranian military
FAIL
4- He practically lost the battle of Kyiv. Pretty much gave up on it and refocused on the south
FAIL
5- Now the new objective is to defend Donbass
TBD
Help me out, I can't keep up
