War in Eastern Ukraine

Russia started the armed conflict in Donbas in April 2014, after the occupation of Crimea by Russian troops.

Provocateurs controlled by the Kremlin began to incite the local population and themselves to participate in pro-Russian actions.

Soon, the “protests” directed by the Russian special services turned into the seizure of the buildings of local governments and ended with the proclamation of “republics”, the legitimacy of which is recognized only by Moscow and its close satellites.

For the occupation of Crimea and certain territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the US and the EU have imposed a number of sanctions against the Kremlin.

Putin himself denies his country’s involvement in resolving the conflict in Donbas, arguing that there are “no” Russian troops in ORDLO.

At the same time, Russia is trying to persuade Ukraine to direct negotiations with the militants, declaring that it is only a “third party” in order to absolve itself of responsibility for the aggression that has begun and avoid tightening sanctions.
