I really do hope Putin has misjudged the situation but do we really know that that is the case.
Putin is just as likely to have know full well how long and how hard it was going to be.
The US are apparently reporting that between 60-80% of Russian forces in Ukraine are either out of food, fuel or ammunition or will be by the weekend. That could halt their advance.

'Inappropriate': UK taxpayer-backed satellites set to be launched from Russian-owned facility, on Russian rockets
OneWeb was saved from bankruptcy by the UK government- but is due to launch satellites from a Russian-owned launch pad on Russian-owned rockets.

It's not whataboutery....
In no way have I defended the Russian invasion by comparing it to anything else. My opinion is, looking down that list of abstainers, that the civilized world could do even better than just punishing Russia for attacking Ukraine. That's all.
of course we cant be 100% sure but it seems likely that if he wanted to install a puppet government, he would have taken an initial softer approach. Which he did. I'm sure they factored in the likelihood of the softer approach failing but I doubt they were planning on it.

We should surely be engaging in negotiation and insisting that the UN immedIately send in a peace keeping force. Any argument from Russia, ‘Koff we’re coming.
People are dying.
Maybe or he could of just been testing the water with a softer approach to see what the response would be from NATO ect .
I expect him to go full tilt in the next week and take full control of Ukraine

I don’t know mate. All the talk before the attack began was of how the Ukrainians would fight for every inch of ground and would rather die than surrender.
The idea that Putin discounted that and expected to waltz in and out within 3 days is fanciful
To be honest, I've no idea how long the Ukrainians can hold out. I do think by end of next week, both sides will be running on fumes.
I just don't see Russia taking total control without what might as well be mass genocide. And at that point Russia will be absolutely crippled by expanding sanctions.

The Russians would rightly consider this to be NATO aggression under a literal false flag.
It's impossible anyway. The five permanent members of the Security Council also have veto power over changes to the UN Charter. They gave themselves this power as the victors in WWII, as they weren't about to cede an iota of sovereignty from a position of strength. The UN can do nothing to threaten the interests of these countries, by design when the institution was set up.
