On February 24, Russia launched a special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. The aim of the operation is to protect the population of Donbass from the genocide carried out by the Kiev regime. The Russian Armed Forces are striking only military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops. With the support of the Russian military, the LPR and DPR forces are developing their offensive.
Mariupol is almost entirely liberated by the Russian Armed Forces in cooperation with the DPR People’s Militia from the nationalists. The remnants of the Ukrainian army militants have settled in the Azovstal plant. Combat is also underway to free Russian and foreign sailors taken hostage in the port of Mariupol.
