The Objectives of the Special Military Operation

Will they take Odessa?

I don’t know when that happened but Russia is not in Ukraine to save anyone. Russia is there to make sure the Ukrainian Nazis are no more. When a woman told a Russian soldier in Kherson that she did not ask to be liberated, the soldier answered that they are not liberating her, they are liberating the place from the likes of her. Russia fucking knows the population is brainwashed and with the Nazis. Demilitarization and denazification means killing them all!

I am not sure Russia ever wanted to save Ukraine. Russia declared sovereignty one year before Ukraine, the only thing Russia wanted was for Ukraine to at least remain neutral and not go against Russian interests.

Annexing Ukrainian territory kinda came later. This is not the primary objective. Russia will annex as much territory as it deems necessary to achieve the primary goals. I can’t say with certainty they will take Odessa but they might not in the end.
