Putin has directed Russian forces to conduct a special operation in the Donbass region, according to 24 February remarks from the Russian president. Putin declared that he expects consolidated parliamentary support for the operation in the Donbass region.
Putin remarked that the NATO-allied war machine supporting "neo-Nazis" in Ukraine is moving and closely approaching Russia's borders.
"Leading NATO countries pursue their own goal by fully supporting Ukraine's extreme Nazis and neo-Nazis, who, in turn, will never forgive the people of Crimea and Sevastopol for their free choice to reunify with Russia", said the Russian president. "They will, of course, go to Crimea, like to Donbass, the way they do it, to kill, like executioners from the bands of Ukrainian Nazi supporters of Hitler were killing innocent people during World War II".
Putin emphasised that Russia, for the past 30 years, has been attempting to negotiate NATO non-expansion to the east, despite being faced with deceit and blackmail.
