my "plan A and plan B" hypothesis:
The Russian forces in the first wave were expected to achieve one of two things. Either
-accept the surrender of Ukrainian forces and occupy territory unopposed, or
- if meeting Ukrainian resistance, they would serve to probe Ukrainian forces to see where their weak and strong points are.
^ nb. this analysis comports with what objective, Realist observers noticed from Day One of the invasion
