Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine in February, in order to put an end to the eight-year-long military campaign in Donbass, which had already claimed more than 13,000 lives. President Vladimir Putin said that the actions of Kiev's troops in Donbass amounted to genocide, stressing that the Ukrainian forces ravaging the regions should be held accountable for their crimes.
