In his address to the Russians today, President Putin said that had decided on a special military operation in Donbass. The Russian leader stressed that Russia has no plans to occupy Ukraine, but Moscow will strive for its demilitarisation.

"High-precision weapons destroy military infrastructure: military airfields, aviation, air defence facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the Russian Defence Ministry said, emphasising that nothing threatens the civilian population.
