No, they wanted to quickly decaptiate the government, kill Zelensky and install Yanukovich, who is waiting in Minks to return.
Then, Putin will have re-established Ukraine as a vassal, and have a Neo Russian Empire which the Russian population will chauvinistically and enthusiastically accept. 'We have freed the Ukranians' is what they can tell themselves even though clearly the Ukrainians are willing to literally fight to the death indicates otherwise.
Correct in that they don't want to 'occupy' anything, that's expensive. They thought Ukraine would capitulate quickly.
Evidence for this points to the fact Putin had to call up Chechen units, marshall units from far away, get Bealurus soldiers involved, and the fact he's still losing a few aircraft every day and does not have air superiority, which surely he would like to have established.

- jollybean 5y agoThis is repulsive. There is a 'Hitler supporter' in every random group of 300 people you can assemble on the planet. Those 'Angry Nationalists' would not have existed were it not for Putins constant interventions with Yanukovich and then the 2014 invasion. No Putin intervention -> no Nazis. FYI Zelenky was is joke, a turd, totally 'the wrong person' - his heroism is due to what he is doing, not what he was. Whatever kind of 'quesitonable leader' he was before, he is now 'Churchill'. He's a figure of history now.
