Vladimir Putin: Unknown details of the regime's plan to seize Ukraine revealed in Russian documents

The Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies (RUSI), a London-based think tank with close links to the British Army, has published captured documents which allegedly are signed off by Vladimir Putin.

Underestimating Ukraine’s defense

The revelations by RUSI, if true, suggest that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and his top military strategists heavily underestimated Ukraine’s defense when plotting to take the country in less than two weeks.

Surprisingly the documents also reveal interesting details about Vladimir Putin’s chain of command, as the documents shed light on great secrecy about the pre-invasion course of actions.

Apparently, not many officials were aware of the full scale of the plans. The report indicates that Russian military heads of branches were informed just days leading to the invasion, while tactical unit leaders received orders just hours before.
