Let me point something out that isn't yet so obvious to you, which I by now understand.
If you call a cat a dog, does that make it a dog?
I hope you can catch my drift.

Fake Stalinist-Putinist nationalism. Not buying it, comrade.Hilarious the people you call commies are probably more opposed to the ideology than you are.

Putin taps 'obese 280lbs retired general to lead forces in Ukraine'
The 20 stone General Pavel, 67, has been summoned from his comfortable retirement in the Moscow suburbs and told to don his army fatigues and go to the front lines of eastern Ukraine.www.dailymail.co.uk
The plot thickens. So depressing if this is true:
Moscow’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations has accused Ukraine of orchestrating the attack on the shopping centre in Kremenchuk to garner sympathy ahead of the NATO summit to be held on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“Looks like we are dealing with a new Bucha-style Ukrainian provocation,” Dmitry Polyanskiy wrote on the Twitter.

Meanwhile, even a simple enumeration of these categories, in the absence of specific knowledge about what information Putin had, and comparing them with the picture of events of the past year and a half, allows us to assume with good certainty exactly what kind of information Putin received.
The most plausible and explaining hypothesis is that Ukraine takes a course towards joining NATO and then, after joining, Ukraine conducts military operations to seize Donbass and / or Crimea, under the umbrella of NATO guarantees and formalized military-treaty and military-practical ties with NATO .
That Ukraine adopted a state doctrine providing for the reannexation of Donbass and Crimea about a year ago was reported, but muffled. One can find official Ukrainian reports of the signing of the doctrine by Zelensky and its external summary (seemingly the only published document from the entire composition of the doctrine), which establishes that, based on the strategies developed by the Ukrainian government, the annexation of Crimea and Donbass is envisaged through a number of measures, including military measures. (document explicitly mentions them). However, the main part of the doctrine is hidden and has not been published.
Judging by what happened, it is most likely that Putin received the content of the doctrine, as well as information about the attitude of the US and NATO leadership towards it, including their position on admitting Ukraine to NATO. If this Ukrainian plan were implemented, the Russian Federation would be drawn into a direct military clash with NATO in a short time.
It is this picture that explains in the most satisfactory way why the Kremlin, which has never wanted anything else than to trade in gas, and not to be touched, suddenly plunged into a fever activity.
Hence the visits to Moscow for secret negotiations by high-ranking Americans - the content and topics of the negotiations were not reported.
Hence, when these negotiations obviously did not work out, the sudden and desperate presentation by the Russian Federation of demands on NATO for security guarantees.
And from here, when it was not possible to move away from the inevitable prospect of a military clash with NATO through diplomatic channels, the special military operation was suddenly born. It is all the more sudden that, until the very last months, the Kremlin, obviously, still relied on diverting the RU-NATO war by diplomatic means.
When this failed, the last way to avoid war with NATO was the military operation.
Indeed, it was better to fight now with Ukraine (with little bloodshed on foreign territory) than in a year or two to get a military clash with a NATO country, launched on the terms and according to the plans of Ukraine and NATO. That same "June 22" about preventing the repetition of which Putin spoke.
The preventive operation not only pre-empted the Ukrainian military operation, but, more importantly, pre-empted the integration of Ukraine into NATO and the Ukrainian military operation turning into a NATO operation.
*******************
This observation also explains why the always extremely cautious Putin, "set off on an adventure." Because the only alternative left was absolutely disastrous.
It also makes it clear that the actors in the West who advocated the integration of Ukraine into NATO, at least to some extent, deliberately and consciously did this precisely for the sake of moving towards a NATO military operation against the Russian Federation. In this perspective, it is quite possible that some of the Kremlin’s intelligence sources were figures in the United States, the EU or NATO, although they do not sympathize with the Russian Federation, but do not want to draw their countries into a direct military conflict with the Russian Federation.
It also clarifies the main goals of the military operation from the Kremlin, which were not at all the defense of the Donbass or Russian national tasks (which turned out to be only incidentally and partially incidental), and suggests what, respectively, can be expected from the Kremlin in the future and what is not.
