Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: Russia does not begin, but ends military actions
The operation to denazify Ukraine is not the beginning, but the end of the military actions of the Kyiv regime, which lasted for eight years and led to the death of thousands of residents of Donbass.
This was stated by the representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov, as reported by the correspondent of PolitNavigator.
According to Konashenkov, transport and life support facilities operate in all settlements that have come under the control of the Russian army. This is ensured by local authorities together with the Russian military.
Konashenkov also emphasized that on the Russian side, only contract soldiers are participating in the special operation in Ukraine.
“Units of the armed forces of the Donetsk People's Republic, continuing the offensive, are completing the blockade of the city of Mariupol.
All settlements that have come under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to live as usual. Life support facilities for the population are functioning, transport is working. Most city administrations, in agreement with the command of the Russian troops, ensure law and order and maintain peaceful life.
Let me emphasize that only officers and military personnel serving under contract as privates and non-commissioned officers take part in the special military operation of the Russian armed forces.
Russia did not start hostilities - Russia is completing them. Military actions by the regime in Kyiv and the systematic extermination of the inhabitants of Donbass lasted eight years. During this war, more than 14 thousand people, hundreds of children, died. This had to stop. Put an end to the endless threats of the Kyiv regime against Russia. And Russia will do it,” Konashenkov said.
