Vladimir Putin’s emergency appeal
Video
Russian President Vladimir Putin made an emergency appeal on the morning of February 24 and announced the start of a special military operation in the Donbass. “Its [operation] goal is to protect people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years,” he stressed.
According to him, Russia cannot feel safe and exist with a constant threat from Ukraine. He stressed that the military operation in Donbass will be carried out in accordance with the UN Charter, the decision of the Federation Council and agreements with the DPR and LPR.
What preceded the military operation
Reports that Russia is increasing its military presence on the border with Ukraine began to appear in the Western media in October 2021. The Kremlin said that the movement of Russian troops on the territory of the country is exclusively a matter of Russia.
In December 2021, Russia sent the United States drafts of a security guarantee treaty. Moscow offered NATO to abandon further expansion to the east and guarantee that Ukraine and Georgia, in particular, would not join the alliance. In addition, the United States had to abandon the creation of bases on the territory of the former USSR.
On February 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry published a reaction to the US responses on security guarantees. Moscow stated that there was no constructive response from Washington to the Russian proposals. “In the absence of the readiness of the American side to agree on firm, legally binding guarantees to ensure our security from the United States and its allies, Russia will be forced to respond, including through the implementation of military-technical measures,” the Foreign Ministry said.
Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Alexey Danilov said that Kiev does not see signs of preparation of a full-scale operation on the part of Russia. In his opinion, the purpose of the provocation was to force Ukraine to start “militarily responding powerfully”, and then accuse the Ukrainian authorities of organizing the provocation.
On the afternoon of February 18, Donetsk announced that the Ukrainian army was preparing to strike at the Svetlodarsk arc in order to cut the communication lines between Donetsk and Lugansk. The DPR and LPR announced the evacuation of the population to the territory of Russia. Mobilization was announced later. Those in reserve must arrive at the military enlistment offices. At the same time, the Foreign Ministries of the DPR and the LPR refused Kiev’s proposals to hold an extraordinary meeting of the contact group on the settlement in the Donbass.
On February 19, US President Joe Biden said that an attack by Russian troops on Ukraine could happen “in the coming weeks” and even “in the coming days”.
Vladimir Zelensky, during the Munich Conference, demanded the convening of a summit of the countries participating in the Budapest Memorandum, which provided for Ukraine’s renunciation of nuclear weapons. At the same time, Zelensky said that the return of Donbass and Crimea to Ukraine is possible only by peaceful means.
On the afternoon of February 21, the press service of the Southern Military District reported that a sabotage group from Ukraine had broken into the territory of the Rostov region. Two armored vehicles arrived from the territory of Ukraine to evacuate the saboteurs. They were destroyed, five saboteurs were killed.
On February 21, Putin said during a meeting of the Russian Security Council that the Ukrainian authorities were not going to implement the Minsk agreements. He suggested discussing the request of the leaders of the DPR and LPR to recognize the sovereignty of the self-proclaimed republics at a meeting of the Russian Security Council.
Putin explained that the danger of Ukraine joining NATO lies in the fact that official Kiev threatens to “retake Crimea and Sevastopol”. This poses a threat of a collision between Russia and the entire North Atlantic Alliance. At the same time, Putin considered that the moratorium on Ukraine’s accession to NATO is not a concession.: this is the time to prepare for Kiev’s accession to the alliance.
On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the sovereignty of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. Putin also signed agreements on friendship and mutual assistance with the leaders of the DPR and LPR.
The President of Russia announced in which borders the DPR and LPR are recognized. “We have recognized the republics, and hence their Constitution. And there the borders within the Donetsk and Lugansk regions are registered. All disputed issues will be resolved at the negotiations between the Kiev authorities and these republics. This is not possible at the moment. But I hope it will be so in the future,” he said.
Official Kiev refused to recognize Russia’s decision and the independence of Donbass. Vladimir Zelensky stressed that the borders of Ukraine will remain as they were recognized by the international community, “despite the statements of the Russian Federation.”
On Tuesday, February 22, at an emergency meeting, the Federation Council unanimously allowed President Vladimir Putin to use the Armed Forces of Russia abroad in the DPR and LPR.

«RIA Novosti”: Ukraine has made a dummy missile for provocation with a “dirty bomb” The dummy was developed at the Yuzhmash plant — according to the agency, it is planned to stuff it with radioactive material and “shoot down”, and then accuse Russia of launching a nuclear charge. Kiev denied having plans to use a “dirty bomb”
Exclusion zone of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant
Specialists of the Ukrainian Yuzhmash plant have prepared a dummy rocket, which is planned to be filled with radioactive material, according to a source of RIA Novosti. According to him, after the Ukrainian air defense systems should “shoot down” a projectile over the exclusion zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in order to announce the launch of a nuclear charge by Russia,”this is exactly what a provocation with a “dirty bomb” will look like.
The interlocutor of the agency clarified that the dummy rocket of the Iskander complex is made on the basis of the projectile “Dot-U”.
Kiev’s intention to commit a “dirty bomb provocation” was announced by RIA Novosti on October 23 with reference to “credible sources in different countries”. After that, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu spoke about this possibility to colleagues from Britain, France, Turkey, India and China.
The head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, suggested that Kiev could use stocks of radioactive substances from the South Ukrainian, Khmelnitsky and Rivne nuclear power plants to create a bomb, and the detonation of the device would be disguised as an abnormal operation of a low-power Russian nuclear munition, in which highly enriched uranium is used as a charge.». The Russian Defense Ministry has put forces and means on standby to perform tasks in conditions of radioactive contamination.
The US State Department issued a statement saying that Washington, London and Paris do not trust the information provided by Russia. Ukraine has denied the existence of plans to use a dirty bomb. The Ukrainian authorities invited IAEA inspectors to the nuclear facilities, stressing that Kiev has nothing to hide.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the West may not believe in the possibility of provocation, but the threat is obvious.

Yurist Chikov: in Russia, for the first time, the refusal of believers to participate in a special operation will be checked under the Criminal Code.

will be checked under the Criminal CodeIn Russia, for the first time, the Investigative Committee is conducting an inspection under a new article of the Criminal Code due to the refusal of two evangelists to participate in hostilities, lawyer Pavel Chikov said in the telegram channel.
According to him, we are talking about two parishioners of the Church of the Holy Trinity Christians of the Evangelical Faith, Sergei Tarasov and Maxim Drozdov. On September 24, they were called up as part of a partial mobilization from the village of Kanevskaya in the Krasnodar Territory.
The men have been in a military unit in the city of Budennovsk, Stavropol Territory, for more than a month. They wrote reports to the commander of the unit about refusing to participate in hostilities for religious reasons, Chikov said.
In this regard, the military investigation department in Budennovsk intends to open a criminal case. While the investigation is conducting a pre-investigation check under the new part 2.1 of Article 332 of the Criminal Code (failure to execute the order of the chief in an armed conflict, as well as refusal to participate in hostilities). Tarasov and Drozdov were interviewed by the military commandant’s office, the military police and the military garrison prosecutor’s office.
Lawyer Andrey Sabinin told RBC that there is no decision on the initiation of criminal proceedings against Tarasov and Drozdov yet.
According to the lawyer, the men said on the day of mobilization on September 26 that they could not participate in the special operation for religious reasons, and the next day they filed a report. “If military service contradicts a citizen’s religion, he has the right to replace it with an alternative civil service, but Tarasov and Drozdov did not have time to file a corresponding application, especially a lawsuit, they took them and took them away quickly,” Sabinin noted.
