In recent weeks, the situation in Donbass has seriously escalated: Kyiv has concentrated most of its army on the line of contact and intensified shelling of the DPR and LPR, using equipment prohibited by the Minsk agreements. Because of the threat of Ukraine's invasion, the authorities of the republics began the evacuation of women, children and the elderly to the Russian regions, announced a general mobilization, and on February 19 asked Russia to recognize their independence. Two days later, on February 21, Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the sovereignty of the LPR and the DPR , and on February 24 announced the start of a special operation. He assured that Moscow's plans do not include the occupation of Ukraine, only its demilitarization and denazification.
