Details: The Russian Minister assures that Moscow allegedly “always wanted to protect Russian people who have lived in the territories mentioned above for hundreds.”
Lavrov also stated that under the presidency of Vladimir Zelensky, laws that destroy the rights of Russian -speaking were adopted, but did not give any details.
Why is it important: Russia invaded and occupied Ukrainian Crimea and part of Donbass in 2014. In 2022, the Russian Federation launched a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, attacking at night peaceful settlements throughout the country rockets and bombs. It was remarkable that Russian propagandists in the first days actively spread statements that “Russia would take Kiev for 3 days”, and Russian soldiers who had come to Kiev had a parade form to pass a parade in Khreshchatyk after these “3 days”.
