The command netplan apply returns some errors when I execute it as root user.

root@szyf1272:/etc/netplan# netplan apply

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.

This error is returned from systemd in response to the command:

systemctl stop --no-block systemd-networkd.service 'netplan-wpa-*.service'

This checks whether /run/systemd/system exists and is accessible.

This is always true on a correctly booted Ubuntu 20.04 system.

I don't know what you might have done to cause this directory to be absent, but such a system is badly broken and unsupportable.
