How did the Russian Federation and its Ukrainian agents prepare for the invasion of the Donbass - and carried out it in 2014? Says journalist Konstantin Skorkin
 |
On April 12, 2014, dozens of militants led by Igor Strelkov, with the support of local separatists, captured Slavyansk Donetsk region.
During April 2014, the so-called Kharkov, Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics were proclaimed. Kiev then restored control of Kharkov, and war began in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. At the same time, the self -proclaimed DPR and LPRenjoyed the support of Russia - obvious and hidden.
Since 2014, the armed conflict in the Donbass experienced exacerbations and recessions. By February 2022, the situation became much less sharp (at least compared to 2014 and 2015), but Vladimir Putin began the so-called “special military operation”-that is, a large-scale war with Ukraine.
We are talking about what preceded the events of 2014 in the Donbass and how they developed - with the journalist and researcher Konstantin Skorkin.
