#BREAKING 📰
Russian battle plans captured, likely from one of the command vehicles captured.
Battle plans were approved on January 18th and called for a 15 day war to take over Ukraine
Apparently, they were approved on the 18th of January (first picture, in the stamp) and called for a 15 day war to successfully invade the country in 15 days. The tweet's authortweet has been active since 2017, posted 3000 tweets before, and has 17k followersretweeted over 130 times.
I (and I suspect many others) would be interested to know ifIs the claim that these are genuine. I don't speak either Russian or Ukranian, do not read Cyrillic, and, as a lifelong pacifist who is deeply saddened by this utter waste of human life and shamefulauthentic plans from the Russian aggression, I know nothing of military operations.
I do however know that NATO has its own symbology for military maps and to aid battle planning, and thattrue? Do the maps shown below are consistent and look to be relatively professionally constructed, atcontents of the very least.
Therefore, I would like to ask:
- What do the documents actually say? Does it corroborate the tweet's claim?
- Is there a Russian military symbology, similar to NATO? What do the symbols mean?
- Is this evidence that the whole thing was planned from the start, intended to begin on the 20th of February?
