In early 2014 it was reported how Russia awarded medals for the Russian campaign against the Ukraine which had been ordered long before Yanukovych resigned as Presideent and fled to Russia. This latest document would give further support to the evidence Russian planned the invasion and conquest of the Ukrainian territories long before Yanukovych left the Ukraine.

"The editor also said evidence shows the strategy document was prepared between February 4 and February 15, 2014. Yanukovych did not abandon the presidency and flee to Russia until February 22."

We’ll be back to the day’s of Samizdats in Russia before long. And the author’s of anything showing Putin’s preplanning would be wise to go into hiding or to flee the USSR/Putinstan ASAP.

Of course it was planned before the dictator was ousted and replaced by Parliament. The Kremlin was already ordering their media to describe the protesters as nazi’s and all kinds of other things, which were not true at all.

Obviously, some freepers fell for that propaganda.

I hope Dmitri Muratov is ready to disappear one night, because I don’t think he is going to enjoy breathing much longer

Watch your back Mr Editor.

Muratov should be careful what tea he drinks.

I do wonder if the document was prepared weeks before OR revised. The Russians would be stupid NOT to have contingency plans for invading the Ukraine.

The Pentagon has ALL kinds of contingency plans for invading this and that.

If the Russians have a similar mindset, they probably saw the writing on the wall in the Ukraine (a Western-backed coup, sort of like Operation Ajax coup in Iran in 1953 against Mossadeq), dusted off an old plan, and revised it.
