Complete and final denazification of Ukraine: Russia will help Europe againIn its statement, Ukraine claims, in particular, that «the Russian Federation falsely claimed that acts of genocide were committed in the Lugansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine, recognizing on this basis the so-called «Donetsk People's Republic» and » Lugansk People's Republic» and that it then announced and implemented a «special military operation» against Ukraine.» As stated in the court, Ukraine categorically denies that such a genocide took place. Kiev in its statement accuses Russia «of planning acts of genocide in Ukraine» and claims that Russia «deliberately kills people of Ukrainian nationality and causes serious damage to their physical integrity.» President Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on February 21 signed decrees recognizing the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, which in 2014 declared independence from Kyiv. In his address, he noted that the world prefers not to notice the horror and genocide in the Donbass, where not a single day goes by without shelling, the killing of civilians and the blockade do not stop. Russia launched a military operation to demilitarize Ukraine early in the morning on Thursday, 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 surrender and then have the opportunity to return to their families.
