Russia's military is quite weak, they never want to get directly involved, so will primarily use their standard strategy of confuse, deny and lie to achieve an easy win without ever having to (openly) fire a shot.

Arguably, its been quite successful - Ukraine (2014), Syria, Belarus, but recently failed when NATO derailed their hopes for an easy win in Ukraine.

Pretty much, whatever they say - assume the opposite and you can't go far wrong. "Peacekeepers" you say? "Allies with whom you say?"

At the end of the day, Azerbaijan - an authoritarian state like Russia, is taking land with a "Special Military Operation" and Russian "peacekeepers", while Armenia is surrendering, hosting a NATO exercise and hoping to join the EU...
