Background

On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a special military operation. The Kyiv regime, with the support of the Western “empire of lies”, creates a huge danger for Russia, Russia was left with no choice, and it is impossible to protect itself from the actions of the nationalist junta in any other way than a military operation, the president said. The purpose of the operation is to protect people who have been subjected to abuse and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years, Putin said. “We will strive for the demilitarization and denazification” of the territories of Ukraine, the president said. He also called on the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to lay down their arms and said that if any external forces try to intervene in the situation, Russia’s response will be immediate. Recall that earlier the heads of the DPR and LPR asked Vladimir Putin to help repel the aggression of the Kyiv regime in order to avoid civilian casualties and a humanitarian catastrophe in the Donbass.
