«Contacts are being made,» Zakharova told Sputnik radio.
On February 24, Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin called this goal «to protect people who had been the target of persecution and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» To this end, in his opinion, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine» in order to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for «bloody crimes against the civilian population» in the Donbas.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces only hit the military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, and since March 25, they have completed the main tasks of the first stage — they have significantly reduced Ukraine’s combat potential. The main goal of the Russian military department was to name the liberation of Donbas, reports RIA Novosti.
