[REGNUM] Russia will achieve the goals for which the special operation in Ukraine is being carried out, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on April 27 at a meeting with the Council of Legislators.
"All the tasks of the special military operation we are conducting in the Donbass and Ukraine, launched on February 24, will certainly be fulfilled."
This is necessary, the head of state noted, "in order to guarantee security measures for the residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, the Russian Crimea and our entire country for a historical perspective."
Recall that during the special operation of the RF Armed Forces, a number of settlements were liberated from Ukrainian militants, including the city of Mariupol.
Russian diplomat says denazification of Ukraine will be completed
[RIA Novosti] Those responsible for the torture and murder of Ukrainians disloyal to the Kyiv regime will be punished, the denazification of Ukraine will be completed, Sergei Leonidchenko, head of the legal section of the Russian Permanent Mission to the United Nations, said at an informal meeting of the UN Security Council.
"Torture centers in the 21st century really do not fit in the head. There is a lot of factual evidence and testimonies of witnesses about the secret SBU torture center at the Mariupol airport. It was cynically called the "library" and was created in 2014, when the nationalist battalion "Azov" occupied Mariupol," Leonidchenko said.
According to him, this particular center was used to torture, rape and kill "books" - as neo-Nazis called ordinary civilians held there who were suspected of disloyalty to the Kyiv regime.
"Be sure that those responsible for these and all other heinous crimes will be brought to justice. No one will escape responsibility. The denazification of Ukraine will be completed," he concluded.
Russia launched a special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine on February 24. As Vladimir Putin emphasized , its goal is to "protect people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years."
According to the Ministry of Defense, the Russian military strikes only on military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, nothing threatens the civilian population. The main goal of the operation in the department was called the liberation of Donbass.
Putin warns of "lightning strikes" in case of a threat to Russia
[RIA Novosti] If someone wants to intervene in the situation in Ukraine from the outside and create a strategic threat, then the blows will be lightning-fast, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Council of Legislators.
"We have made all the decisions on this matter," he said.
He stressed that the country has all the tools for this, which no one else can boast of now. "But we will not brag. We will use them if necessary. And I want everyone to know about it," the president said.
In addition, the Russian leader assured that all the tasks of the special operation in Ukraine would be unconditionally fulfilled in order to guarantee peace and security to the people of Russia and Donbass in the historical perspective.
According to him, Russian soldiers and officers averted "a real danger that has already hung over our homeland" and prevented a large-scale conflict that "would have unfolded on our territory, but according to someone else's scenarios."
Putin noted that unfriendly countries relied on Russophobia and neo-Nazis and consistently created anti-Russia from a neighboring state. At the same time, the West has turned the Ukrainian people into expendable material, but the realization of this is already coming to the majority of the population.
"When Russia reacted favorably, in a friendly, comradely, fraternal way to the creation of an independent Ukrainian state, of course, then they proceeded from the fact that it would be a friendly state, that we would go further together, strengthening and developing each other, "creating the most competitive conditions for our development. Yes, in new historical conditions, but, of course, no one expected the creation of anti-Russia on the historical Russian territories, and we cannot allow this to happen," the head of state explained.
Moscow's reaction to these actions was correct and timely, which confirms the course of recent events, including Kyiv's claims to possess nuclear weapons, the discovery of Western biological laboratories in Ukraine and the supply of weapons, the president added.
"The day before yesterday, at the board of the Prosecutor General’s Office, I spoke about the need to form a detailed and irrefutable evidence base for all heinous crimes, violations of international humanitarian law by neo-Nazis, foreign mercenaries, and there are more and more of them in Ukraine. Once again <...> several people were killed, several were detained. Soon the Ministry of Defense will present them to the public," Putin also announced.
