The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014.  The peace talks failed to reach tangible results due to Kiev’s position to settle the conflict by force.

 

President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation on February 24, 2022 to protect Donbass residents from Ukrainian aggression. Prior to that, the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics Heads, Leonid Pasechnik and Denis Pushilin, asked the Russian leader to provide military assistance.  *i*ie
