Are you talking about Putin announcing a special operation to demilitarise and denazify? Because that has absolutely nothing to do with what you claimed earlier - you claimed that the land bridge was the goal of the operation. So maybe you should go back to Reddit, because you're not making any sense here

Edit - maybe by "they", you're referring to the russian interfax agency, who on February 24th published and then quickly deleted an article about how great it is for russia, Ukraine and belorus to finally be back in a union state together. But, if this is what you meant by by "they said what they wanted" - rebuilding the union state is not the same as capturing the land bridge, which is what you earlier claimed was the purpose of the operation
