Putin: The goal of our operation is to free Denbas from the genocidal regime of Ukraine

According to Fars News Agency’s International Service, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed a large gathering of Russian people on Friday.

According to the network website «Sky News“The Donbass republics had fallen victim to the Ukrainian government,” Putin said in a speech marking the anniversary of the annexation of the Crimean peninsula. “The purpose of the Russian operation in Ukraine is to free Donbass from this genocide.”

He praised the “unity of Russia” since the arrival of Russian troops in Ukraine, among his supporters, who shouted “Russia, Russia” and, according to Moscow police, numbered 200,000.

Putin also said he was pleased with the “uprising” in Crimea following the entry into the Russian Federation and the decision of local authorities to create a strong barrier against the “neo-Nazis” in Ukraine.

“All plans will be implemented in Ukraine:” Russian troops are fighting side by side in Ukraine, and we have not seen such unity for a long time, “he said.

Western countries, especially the United States, have provided extensive financial and military support to the Ukrainian government in recent years, and have continued to provide mercenaries since the beginning of the conflict.

Putin warned on Wednesday that actions by Western countries, including sending weapons and mercenaries to Ukraine, would bleed the country.

Russia’s president has condemned new Western sanctions against his country over “special operations” in Ukraine, calling them “a serious blow to the global economy as a whole.”
