    There is now a reply. I don’t want to shock you, so make sure you’re sitting down: in no way does the source support the view that Russia sought:

    The return of Ukraine in its entirety to the russian nation for one.

    Here is the quote, to save you scrolling up:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20220308032650/http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67903 Parts to note:

    “I would like to emphasise once again that our men and officers are fighting in Ukraine for Russia, for a peaceful life for the citizens of Donbass, and for the denazification and demilitarisation of Ukraine, so that no anti-Russia, which the West has been creating for years right on our border, can threaten us, including with nuclear weapons, as has recently become the case.
