Yes his plans boomeranged 

Putin's plan to conquer Ukraine in 48 hours in tatters leaving him 'humiliated'

John Varga, Michele Theil • 4h

Vladimir Putin was confident that Ukraine would surrender within two days of the invasion but his forces have instead faced intense resistance and a united EU

Boris Johnson: Putin is waging a war of choice

Russian President Vladimir Putin is said to be "humiliated" after his 48-hour Ukraine invasion plan failed. 

According to British and Ukrainian defence sources, Putin believed he could capture the capital city of Kyiv and four other major cities within 48 hours of launching the invasion.

He was confident that President Volodymyr Zelensky would surrender and sign Ukraine over quickly, The Times reports. 

Unfortunately for Putin, Russian troops have faced fierce resistance from Ukrainian troops and citizens.

Ukrainian diplomat Dymytro Tetriakov, first secretary at the embassy in London, told The Times that Russia's invasion hasn't gone according to plan because Ukraine "is our soil, our families, our homes."

He added that the Ukrainian people and military, with support from their allies across the world, had "no fear".

Ukrainian forces have so far surpassed expectations by preventing Russia from gaining control of their airspace. 

They also blew up tanks, armoured vehicles, and brought down cruise missiles sent from Russia with a comparatively tiny army.

Ukraine only has 196,600 troops against Russia's 900,000 but have so far slowed the invading forces.

Russia has suffered heavy casualties as the invasion enters its fourth day, with The Economist reporting on Friday that the Russian army has had more casualties in 24 hours than in eight years fighting in Syria.

Putin was thought to be confident Volodymyr Zelensky would surrender quickly

The Kremlin is yet to acknowledge any widespread casualties or issues with the invasion.

Some reports have also claimed that Russian soldiers are now refusing to fight.

Taras Kuzio, a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, said today: "Ukrainian News Channel 24: 5,000 Russian soldiers in staging area in Russia, North of Kharkiv, have revolted and are refusing to attack Ukraine."

Kuzio also claimed that reports from the front lines near Crimea showed "1/2 of Russian soldiers have turned over their equipment to the Ukrainians, again refusing to fight."

There seems to widespread anger against Putin in Russia over the invasion, with many Russians protesting in Moscow while some government employees have resigned as a result.

These reports were followed Russian soldiers yesterday (February 27) advanced into the city centre of Kharkiv but were pushed back by local forces and later captured.

Oleh Synyehubov, the governor of Kharkiv Oblast, said that the soldiers had been taken into custody by the Ukrainian army.

He said: "The Russian soldiers, who were taken captive, talk about total extortion and demoralisation, they have nothing to do with the central command, do not understand and do not know their further actions.

Russian troops have suffered severe casualties, both in terms of equipment and soldiers(SWNS)

"Since the beginning of the attack on Ukraine they do not receive food and water, the technology has no fuel supplies."

Around 22,000 Ukrainian troops have been trained by the British Army since 2015, which could explain their ability to hold their own against Russia – especially if Russian troops are "very green".

Kevin Price, a former major who served 20 years with the British military, told The Times that the soldiers advancing were inexperienced in comparison to Ukrainian forces who have massively improved in recent years.

He added that the current military strategy does not make much sense, asking: "Is Putin just throwing in a whole bunch of youngsters to the fight to get the sense of what Ukrainian forces are like, and holding back the more battle-ready troops?"

putin didn’t anticipate EU would fck him so badly, he thought threat of energy crisis will be the checkmate, but with winter approaching end of season EU went down with a calculated risk, never in the history of cold war were the sanctions this severe.
