I thought Russian soldiers would have been given more than a few hours notice they were going to war.
It is hard to overstate the ramifications of that decision. Logisticians didn't have time to plan (e.g. fuel, food), vehicles were sent without proper maintenance, ground guys didn't talk to air guys, adjacent units didn't coordinate, they didn't ensure comms were solid. etc.
One important factor is that few in Putin's inner circle are veterans. Many were intelligence officers, but few have military experience, including Shoigu. They clearly thought opsec was more important than allowing the military to properly prepare. A serious mistake.

Rustam Minnekaev, the deputy commander of the Central Military District, said that one of the goals of Russia's second phase of the operation is to establish full control over the Donbas and southern Ukraine as well as to create a land corridor to Crimea.

He said control over the Donbas/southern Ukraine would allow Russia to influence vital Ukrainian military facilities; Ukraine's ports (where agricultural and metallurgical products are exported); and Transnistria, where he said the Russian-speaking population faces oppression. 2/
Considering what Shoigu said yesterday, it seems the news goals involve occupying southern Ukraine and the Donbas, at least in the short term, where they can also coerce/influence Ukraine by choking off international trade or continuing to target Ukrainian military positions. 3/
