"Special military operation" (not a war)

In announcing Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted that this was not the start of war, but rather a special military operation (link to Wikipedia article below). The use of this euphemism has been translated into a variety of memes, including those mocking Russian propaganda or replacing "war" in other contexts, such as changing War and Peace to Special Military Operation and Peace.
