Ukraine needs regime change

MOST PEOPLE, including Russians, did not expect extensive military action in Ukraine. Russian authorities, however, realised that there has been a fundamental change in the situation, and not just in the Donbas region, but across Ukraine.

The Zelenskyy government chose to ignore the blatant violation of human rights and atrocities by the neo-Nazis, and refused to comply with the Minsk agreements. There were also reports about a large-scale invasion of neo-Nazis into Donbas, along with the threat of terrorist attacks and provocations ordered by Kyiv against Donbas and Russia.

Russian troops hastily occupied the Chernobyl nuclear plant to prevent the possibility of such a terrorist attack. By doing so, Russia was protecting a large number of people, not just in Russia and Ukraine, but in Europe as a whole. This explains the secretive, sudden and large-scale nature of the military operation. The operation was forced, and this is obvious from the fact that President Vladimir Putin was not at all interested in such a course of action.
