On the night of February 23-24, President Putin announced the start special military operation in Donbass. He explained in detail the reasons for this step. “Russia 24”.
The head of state dwelled on each of the facts that testify to the West’s unwillingness to see Russia as an equal partner and, moreover, an ally. According to Putin, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Moscow spent 30 years trying to negotiate a non-expansion of NATO to the East, and all these years faced deceit, pressure and blackmail. The war machine of the alliance is moving and approaching the borders of Russia.
One of the tools in the hands of the West has become Ukraine, which, the president said, is under external control. Our country cannot feel safe, develop, exist with a constant threat from Ukraine. Putin also stressed: one cannot look at the genocide without compassion, taking place in the Donbass.
