The film covers the period from February 2015 to February 24, 2022. This is the period when Russia was actively preparing to invade Ukraine. After the occupation of Crimea and part of the Donetsk region, Russia did not even think for a moment about taking over Ukraine. It did not want part of Crimea and Donbass, it wanted all of Ukraine. The Russian Empire without Ukraine, a renewed Russian Empire, was simply unthinkable. The Kremlin believed that 2022 was the year when this goal could be achieved. This was due to several factors, as Kremlin analysts believed, America had a very weak president in the form of Biden, the European Union was also not united and largely dependent on Russian energy carriers. The Kremlin believed that the Russian world had a fairly large social base in Ukraine. Putin believed that Zelensky was poorly educated in politics. The Kremlin thought that Ukraine would be defeated in just a few days, Zelensky would flee or be captured.
