«Now the main areas have already been identified where the main part of the efforts will be concentrated. And this is not only Mariupol. Mariupol, of course, remains an important and significant city for the DPR, and not only for the DPR. Very serious efforts are concentrated there. Evil spirits have gathered there in an unimaginable number. I'm talking about the Nazis, I'm talking about the national battalions. I'm talking about conditionally those members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who are difficult to distinguish from the same national battalions lately,» Pushilin also noted. Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine», to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for «bloody crimes against civilians» in Donbass. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops and , on March 25, completed the main tasks of the first stage — significantly reduced the combat potential of Ukraine. The main goal in the Russian military department was called the liberation of Donbass.
