“To this end, we will seek to demilitarise and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation.
It is not our plan to occupy the Ukrainian territory.“
I interpret his speech as stating that Russia’s intention is to destroy the Ukraine military, and remove its government. Russia then plans to install their own government.
Is that not “intended to conquer”?
Am I misinterpreting his intention?
