Russian invaders were planning to seize Ukraine under the premise of strategic military exercises.

Militarnyi informs about this.

Today, on April 14th, the relevant Russian documents were published by the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Documents obtained by Ukraine’s military intelligence testify to the invaders’ intentions to seize the capital of Ukraine.

This is stated in the combat order of the Commander of the 96th Separate Reconnaissance Brigade, which he received from the Headquarters of the 1st Tank Army of the Western Military District.

The document defines the stages of the offensive and the tasks for the brigade personnel.

Besides, the analysis of the enemy’s combat documents reveals its actual plans to capture the capital of Ukraine.

“Statements of the Russian politicians and propagandists about the alleged intention to detain Ukrainian units around the capital and the voluntary withdrawal from Kyiv are yet another lie and a desire to cover up the defeat of the occupying forces,” said the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Russia’s open full-scale attack on Ukraine began on the morning of February 24, 2022. The invasion is part of the Russian-Ukrainian war waged by Russia in 2014.

The media and documents define the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 as Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine. In its resolution on March 2, 2022, the UN General Assembly condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and called it an aggression of Russia against Ukraine.
