The way i see it, the plan was to keep building the war capabilities of Ukraine while trying to destabilize Russia with fascists like Navalny, fascists are very easy to manipulate and predict. Having fascists factions in Russia would’ve inevitably led to an internal conflict because of the huge cultural diversity in Russia. A more armed Ukraine wouldve seized the chance with the backing of NATO.
Needless to say, the SMO caught the west by surprise and, with how its going, will end up ruining whatever they had planned in the region.
Definitely and im sure it was intended.
