Do they want to keep Ukraine? I would guess they plan to change the government and install a puppet. Perhaps with annexing a small bit.

- rich_sasha 5y agoThe puppet government will need support from military/Russia police, control of cities, transport links and so on. Look how quickly the US-backed Afghan government fell when US troops retreated. Another sad possibility is that Russia just wants to cause as much death, havoc and destruction, then retreat. But that seems a lot less like an achievement.
- rocqua 5y agoIf they wanted to just cause death, Kiev would be a whole lot flatter by now. It looks like the war crimes and murdered civilians are not part of the plan for now.
