  I don’t think they forgot, I think Putin and his goons completely miscalculated how intense the Wests response would be.
  
  They are waiting for their assets in the Republican party to take over the House and stop the aid to Ukraine. The next few months will tell the tale.
context: It's like saying there will be no peace plan. >
  
  Pretty much. The Kremlin is purposefully taking a position of moral high-ground in order to try and make it look like Ukraine is the one being bellicose and unreasonable. “We want peace, we are trying to negotiate,” the Kremlin insists, while massacring civilians and trying to permanently annex a large section of the economically and politically weaker, disadvantaged country, which obviously doesn’t want to lose its land. >
  
  It's like the scene in Mars Attacks where the aliens keep shooting everyone while repeating "we come in peace" over and over. >
  
  This is a fun reference I didn’t expect to see here. >

  Well the plan SHOULD include it. I think it should say: "Russia shall return all regions to Ukraine, including Crimeria and shall lose access to Sevastapol. Russian leaders shall stand trial for war crimes committed"
  There you go, included as requested. >
  
  Returned in their restored original state >
  
  Better to fix the area with Ukranian people, but get Russia to pay reparations. I wouldn't trust the invaders to do a good job restoring anything. >
  
  Are you insinuating that the country that failed at the road trip portion of an invasion is bad at logistics? >
  
  “What if we drive all of our supplies in one straight line along this road and then come to a stop?“

  come to a stop
  
  I'm not convinced this is as much a part of the plan as it is a consequence of yknow...not having fuel/working motors. >
  
  To be fair, they didn't have fuel because they forgot that the rest of us can be like, "yo Ukrainians...we can't do boots on the ground, but how would you feel about a mountain of rocket drones and also up-to-the-minute info about where all of your enemies are at all times?" >
