Russia launched the special military operation in Ukraine on 24 February on the orders of President Vladimir Putin. He argued that Russia was left with no choice after the DPR and LPR requested its assistance after eight years of shelling by Ukrainian forces. Putin called the events that had been taking place in Donbass a "genocide" and a tragedy for the people living there.
