Some key takeaways from the new CIA and MI6 details on how Zelenskyy prepared for war: The Guardian has published an extensive article on the subject.

First, Putin conceived a full-scale invasion of Ukraine as early as the first half of 2020. During the COVID lockdown, he isolated himself, reading books about Russian autocrats. He then decided to carve out his own place in history, following in the footsteps of Ivan the Terrible or Stalin. He reflected on his historical legacy and concluded that invading Ukraine was the perfect path to secure his legacy.

Second, by the time of the Geneva summit with Biden, Putin had already made his intentions clear. Although he chose not to press the issue during the meeting with the American leader, a few weeks later he published a rather pointed essay stating that ‘Ukraine’s sovereignty can only exist in partnership with Russia

Three. In October 2021, the CIA and MI6 first thoroughly informed Zelensky about the mortal danger—he thought it was a joke. And he was afraid of panic among the people.

Fourth, in January 2022, CIA Director Burns arrived in Kyiv to brief the president on the comprehensive invasion strategy. Zelenskyy concluded that the United States was pushing for action. Instead of launching serious preparations, however, a couple of weeks after the visit, he issued an appeal about kebabs in May and neglected to procure basic supplies. Intelligence immediately indicated that this was a misstep, as millions of people were misinformed and fell into the occupation trap by trusting Zelenskyy’s guidance

Fifth, at the same time, the General Staff under Zaluzhny and the GUR of the Ministry of Defense began developing plans to defend the capital; they did so discreetly to avoid attracting attention. Moreover, they even considered a separate scenario: what would happen if the Russian Federation cut off the western routes to the EU, leaving Ukraine without supply lines from Poland?”

Six. The main person who convinced Zelensky that there would be no war was Andriy Yermak. The Guardian sent him a request for a view, but the fame-hungry Richelieu refused.

Seventh, on February 22, the National Security and Defense Council decided to hold a meeting on martial law, intended to facilitate troop movements and better protect the Kyiv region and the South. However, Zelenskyy feared causing panic, and in the end, the Rada approved only a mild state of emergency under these circumstances.”

The last thing. After the meeting, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Danilov, brought a folder to Zelensky, where it was written that the Russians want not only to take Kyiv but also to destroy him. After that, Zelensky began to scratch his head and realized that all this was no joke.

Separately, what do the CIA and MI6 believe made 2020 a critical year?

Protests in Belarus that same year strengthened Lukashenko’s dependence on the Kremlin, which allowed him to use the country as a springboard for an attack on Kyiv. Journalists note that the poisoning of Navalny was also part of Putin’s grand plan to seize Ukraine. This allowed him to cement the mood of the Russian plebs that everything was okay, and it was time for everyone to go to the SVO.

Moral? It’s scary to have a person at the head of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief who ignores intelligence warnings for six months and endangers borders and people. And only starts doing something after Danilov’s folder, which contains information that they are planning to kill him too.
