"Support for the population of Donbass has been needed for a long time. And the only country that provided assistance was Russia,” Nebenzya said.
Russia launched a military operation to demilitarize Ukraine early Thursday morning, February 24. In a televised address to the Russians, President Vladimir Putin said that circumstances «require decisive and immediate action from us, the people's republics of Donbass have asked for help.» According to the Russian leader, all responsibility for the bloodshed will be on the conscience of the ruling regime in Ukraine. He urged the Ukrainian military not to carry out the criminal orders of the Ukrainian authorities, to lay down their arms and go home. Later, the Russian Defense Ministry stressed that the Russian Armed Forces do not inflict any strikes on the cities of Ukraine: military infrastructure is disabled by high-precision means. The civilian population, according to the department, is not in danger. The Ministry of Defense added that the Ukrainian border guards «do not offer any resistance», in some cases the Ukrainian military surrenders and after that they have the opportunity to return to their families.Situation development — in the online report >> «/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/89b2d64febdd8e04b08cdd36110d9852.jpg» />Nebenzya spoke at the UN about fakes about the military operation in DonbasPosted by: Nikita Stoma
