  • Russia left battle plans behind, according to the Defense Ministry of Ukraine.

  • According to the ministry, the documents suggested the war would last 15 days.

  • There was an invasion map, a table of call signs, and a personnel list in the documents.

The Defense Ministry of Ukraine said Wednesday that it had seized secret battle plans left behind by Russian soldiers. According to the documents, the war between Russia and Ukraine would last 15 days.

The war plans of one of the units of the battalion tactical group of the 810th Separate Guards Naval Infantry brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet were posted on the ministry's Facebook page.

A map, a table of call signs, and a list of personnel were in the documents, according to the Defense Ministry.

The disclosure on the social-media site by the Joint Forces Operation was followed by a post from the ministry.

The defense ministry said that Russian occupiers are losing equipment and manpower because of the actions of one of the armed forces of Ukraine.

According to the ministry, Russia approved its invasion of Ukraine on January 18.

The ministry said the operation was supposed to last 15 days from February 20 to March 6. Insider couldn't independently verify this conclusion.

One of the documents posted by the ministry appeared to be dated January 18, a full month before Russia attacked, while another planning document of call signs for different units spanned the dates February 20 to March 6, with daily code-name changes for different Russian commands to contact each other.

There was no information in the documents about Russian forces taking any Ukrainian city.

Russian President Putin launched his country's invasion of Ukraine in the early morning hours of February 24. A former Russian deputy foreign minister told Al Jazeera that he had information that the Russian leader wanted to declare victory within a week.

The final objective of the Russian forces was to block and seize the southeastern Ukrainian city of Melitopol, according to the Defense Ministry of Ukraine.

That is why you shouldn't trust a prisoner of war who says he or she came to the exercises and got lost. The ministry said on Facebook that they had been preparing.

The response to the Russian occupiers is to keep leaving your vehicles and classified documents, they will be useful for our defenders.
