Nope, and neither do you: the oft-repeated "3 days" line was said by a US state department ghoul who was ascribing that attitude to the Russians. You will not find a representative of the Russian Federation claiming to take Ukraine in 3 days, because that's something that has been memed into collective memory despite not actually happening.
It's definitely a military operation though, you've got that much correct.
That was actually none other than US most senior military officer at the time, general Mark Milley before the Russia joined the war in 2022 probably as a traditional fearmongering to get more cash for military.
So you were lying about them saying three days? And how the fuck are they "toeing the Russian line"? What do you think those words mean.
Like, serious question for the libs: why are you up voting this dogshit? Even if you're from the same political tribe, it's still fucking stupid
So now you agree that what you just said was a lie? Cool, now we're getting somewhere.
The goal is not to take all of Ukraine, because this isn't medieval times lol. The goals are:
-Liberate the Donbas republics, which the Ukrainian coup regime had spent a decade ethnically cleansing
-Prevent Ukraine from being admitted to NATO, which would put a nuclear armed US puppet government within 15 minutes strike distance to Moscow and is therefore an unacceptable security risk to the RF
-Break the AFU's ability to launch conventional missile strikes within Russia
Goals one and two have been achieved, while Russia's continued attrition of the Ukranian military is in the process of achieving the third.
On a personal note, is simping for a nazi regime how you imagined you'd spend your life?
