Russian plan to capture Ukraine:
escape of state leadership, Ukrainian Armed Forces betrayal and mass executions of patriots
Analytical report published on the site of Institute, Censor.NЕТ.*
"The British Royal United Services Institute has published a plan according to which the Russians expected to capture Ukraine within 10 days.
Its authors believe that the Kremlin planned to complete the active phase of the invasion within 10 days - at that time Kyiv was to be taken. The Russians planned to fully occupy Ukraine by August 2022.
For this purpose, at the beginning of the invasion, Russia created a group in the north of Kyiv, which had an advantage of about 12:1 over the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction. But it still failed to realize the advantage.
The plan ignored the possibility of tough retaliatory actions by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and proved to be completely unsuitable when the Russian forces met with strong resistance.
The Russians expected that Ukrainian government officials would flee or be captured, and that the command of the Armed Forces would betray their oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian people.
In particular, in the first days of the invasion, most of Ukraine's generals received personal messages from Russian military commanders urging them to surrender and assuring them that Russia allegedly "does not intend to do Ukraine any harm." Almost all senior officers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces received similar messages sent from anonymous phone numbers.
The Russians planned to capture or execute people involved in the Revolution of Dignity in 2014.
They planned to subject the civilian population to a filtering process and divide them into four main categories:
irreconcilable, to be physically eliminated;
disloyal, who could be persuaded or intimidated;
neutral, who can be persuaded to cooperate;
fully loyal, ready to cooperate;
Analysts point out that the FSB conducted exercises with the involvement of airborne troops to capture or destroy the "extremely disloyal".
The "moderately disloyal" were planned to be identified through door-to-door visits and then "processed" in filtration camps with the involvement of counterintelligence. Some of the disloyal were to be deported to Russia, others were to be used to control the underground resistance."

Reading this thoroughly it is hard not to succumb to the urge to see Moscow burn.
