State Member of Parliament Oleksandr Boroday explained why the Ukrainian artillery continued to shell the front areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, although many “couch experts” predicted its imminent destruction. It was assumed that the line of contact in the Donbas should have seriously moved north.
“These parts of the Ukrainian troops are in deep defense. Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been buried in these positions throughout the eight years of the conflict. It is simply impossible to liquidate this militant group in one day, & ndash; said the first DLR prime minister on the Tsargrad TV channel.
On the morning of February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided on a special military operation aimed at demilitarizing Ukraine. In a televised address to the people of Russia, the president said that the circumstances “require decisive and immediate action from us, the People's Republic of Donbas turned to Russia for help.”
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation later informed that the Russian side does not deploy air, artillery and missile strikes on the cities of Ukraine. We are talking exclusively about decommissioning air defense equipment, military airports and enemy aircraft. Following the completion of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, there is no threat to the civilian population.
