President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia's goal is to stop the eight-year-long war being waged by Ukraine against the people of Donbass, adding that Kiev's actions amount to genocide.
The Russian armed forces and the allied militia of the DPR and LPR continue their special military operation in Donbass and on Ukrainian territory.
The situation remains tense in the Zaporozhye region, where Europe's largest nuclear power plant - ZNPP - has come under repeated shelling from Ukrainian troops over the past weeks.
