The Ukraine war is entering its eighth night.

Kyiv now claims to have captured an explosive Russia deployment plan.

He is supposed to uncover Putin's schedule.

Kyiv - After the invasion of Ukraine, the conflict with Russia has finally turned into a war.

The focus is increasingly on the capital Kyiv.

According to both sides, it is the key to the whole country.

President Vladimir Zelenskyy even called it the "heart of Ukraine".

Putin's invasion did not come as a complete surprise - and yet many international observers did not expect it.

The questions that remain: How long has the Russian ruler been planning the invasion in detail and when was the decision made?

Ukraine operation plan: Kyiv claims to have captured explosive Russia document

A Russian deployment and deployment plan, which according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense in Kyiv has fallen into the hands of the army, is said to provide further clues to Vladimir Putin's plan.

Accordingly, Vladimir Putin approved the war on January 18th.

This would mean that Putin not only brazenly lied to Chancellor Olaf Scholz during his visit to Moscow.

The operational plan also states that the actual attack should have started on February 20th.

Russia had actually invaded on February 24th.

The document should also give a timetable for the war: According to this, the Russian military planned that it would take 15 days to take Ukraine.

The “special operation”, as Russia calls the war, should have ended on March 6th.

Putin's Ukraine plan?

Exact dates mentioned

If you include the four-day delay in launching, Kyiv and the Ukraine should be brought under control by March 10 at the latest - if things go according to this plan.

But many military experts report major problems with the Russian advance.

The army is said to be running out of diesel and ammunition at the front because of logistical problems.

In addition, there is talk of great war fatigue among the soldiers.

There were even reports that Russian military sabotaged their own vehicles.

All of this could further delay - or even derail - the Putin plan.
