That is 2014 boasting speak. He planned 2022 to be 2 days based on his beliefs.
It's not a myth when Putin just canned 8 generals and put his head of FSB on house arrest. That is not what a person does if things are going according to plan.
Not sure why you are calling this western propaganda

Even US assessment of Russia's plan last month well before the attack showed Russia overrunning Kyiv in 2 days.
The reason why the US gave this assessment was because they had internal information within the Kremlin of exactly what the plan was, and US intel was 100% right.
It's just that...Russia proved itself to be much more incompetent then even the biggest outside critic could ever contemplate.
