Russia (bbabo.net), - Signals to Kiev about the need to stop provocations against the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics were not heard. This was stated by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya, speaking at a meeting of the Security Council.

"It seems that our Ukrainian colleagues, who have recently been actively armed and incited by a number of states, have not lost the delusion that with the blessing of Western curators they can achieve a military solution to the Donbass problem," Nebenzi said.

According to him, even last week there was hope that Ukraine would come to its senses, for this it only needed a direct dialogue with Donetsk and Lugansk. However, the absence of such steps on the part of Kiev finally convinced the Russian side that it was impossible "to force the inhabitants of Donbass to suffer further."

The permanent representative stressed that the Russian authorities are still open to dialogue, but they do not intend to allow a new bloody massacre in the Donbass. The root of the crisis around Ukraine is in the actions of Ukraine itself, which for many years sabotaged its direct obligations under the Minsk Package of Measures, Nebenzia noted. He added that Russia is taking action not against the people of Ukraine, but against the junta that seized power in Kiev.

Recall that on the morning of February 24, Vladimir Putin addressed the Russians. The head of state announced that he had decided on a special military operation in the Donbass. The purpose of the operation is to protect people who have been subjected to abuse and genocide by the Kiev regime for 8 years. The head of state stressed that Russia's plans do not include the occupation of Ukraine, the Russian Federation is not going to impose anything on anyone by force.
