Western assessments of the situation around Ukraine are similar to “reports from a madhouse,” said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, RIA Novosti writes with reference to Channel One.
According to her, she is following the statements of “Western partners, the Anglo-Saxon duo.” “I have a feeling that these are, you know, some reports from a madhouse,” the diplomat stressed.
Russia recognized the independence of the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics (LNR and DNR). The representative of the People's Militia of the DPR, Eduard Basurin, spoke about the worsening situation in the Donbass, called what was happening a genocide and turned to Russia for help.
Due to the difficult situation in the republics, Russia on Thursday, February 24, launched a military operation to protect Donbass. This was announced in an address to the Russians by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
