President of the Russian Federation's address
Their plans date back many years. International terror groups were encouraged in the Caucasus, and NATO's offensive infrastructure was deployed close to our borders as well. In addition to cultivating hatred for Russia for decades, mainly in Ukraine, they used indiscriminate Russophobia as a weapon. Ukraine was turned into cannon fodder and pushed into a war with Russia, which was unleashed in 2014. A state coup in Ukraine resulted in the use of the army to kill civilians, blockade the country, and terrorize those who refused to recognize the coup-created government.

The Kiev regime publicly refused to resolve Donbass peacefully and declared its intention to possess nuclear weapons, resulting in a renewed offensive. It a new offensive in Donbass was inevitable, as there had been two before, followed by an attack on Crimea, that is, on Russia.

In this context, launching a preemptive military campaign was the only feasible option. As always, the main objective of this operation is to liberate all of Donbass.

Almost zing.vn of the neo-Nazi remnants have been driven out of the Lugansk Peoples Republic. Donetsk Peoples Republic is still fighting. The Kiev occupation regime had built up a long line of permanent defenses over the last eight years. In a head-on attack, heavy losses would have resulted, which is why our units, in addition to the Donbass forces, are acting competently and systematically, using military equipment and saving lives, in order to expel the Nazis, and help the people who became hostages and human shields.

It is well known that professional military personnel serving under contract are taking part in this special military operation. People of different ethnicities, professions, and ages fight side by side with them in volunteer units. Russia and Donbass were defended by these people after their hearts were called to rise up.

The Government and the Defence Ministry are already under instructions to determine the legal status of volunteers and personnel of the military units of the Donetsk and Lugansk peoples republics. All material, medical, and social benefits must be the same as those enjoyed by military professionals of the Russian army. Military and other equipment must be organized for volunteer units and the Donbass people's militia.
