Russia-Ukraine crisis: Putin orders military operation in Ukraine

Russian president Vladimir Putin has authorised a special military operation in Ukraine's Donbass region and told the Ukrainian military to lay down their weapons and go home.

'I decided to conduct a special military operation', Putin said in a special televised address on Russian state TV. Putin said he 'aims to protect people who have been bullied and subjected to genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years'. A Reuters reporter in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, heard explosions which sounded like artillery shelling in the distance

I'm Ukrainian who lives in another country, and since I heard the news I know that my family in Ukraine is in big danger. Let there be peace in the world 🙏

[DV-zvox]

This was never just about Donetsk and Luhansk. Putin himself claims he will go down as a martyr and saviour in Russian history. Here we go... again.

[pavise]

"Special military operation", the new way to say "war"

[nastSG]

"Kyiv regime" says the guy who hasn't left his presidential post since 1999

[dvbujqn]

So false claims and a declaration of war

[TOPWorld]

China be like : well done Russia, we're next. Let's get Taiwan

[bluecrypto]

Didn’t this guy say, it was all military training and invasion threat was nonsense??

[vegitoson]

What happened to the supposed 3 day special military operation? 😂

[alexparsa]

Let there be peace in the world please 🙏

De-Nazification... wow strong word to use. Not been in the lexicon since about 1945.

[MelkorPT]

This is no different from the invasion of the Sudetenland.

[dianabanana]

Nobody stood up for the people of Donetsk or Lughansk, but now the whole world is in shock?

[naujadiena]

Known criminal tactics: blaming others for what they do themselves.

[eempucb]

This shouldn't have happened. Everyone should restrain themselves and go back to their respective places and think that peace is beautiful

[jofoify]

"The first casuality of war is truth."

[YOLOP-v]

Cool, and now he is talking about some bs history like "lenIN CrEAtEd Ukraine" and absolutely forgeting the "initial goal"

[vforvendetta]

Putin looks like the typical Russian who is recovering from alcoholism.

[heastner]

Now what's next,

A Special Boating Operation on Taiwan?

Guys, this channel is lying. They cut the original video of the president's speech and put the last clip to show you that Russia is an aggressive country. When you watch a full president's speech, you will understand the current situation and why the decision was made. We love all countries of the world, but the main cause of these problems is America and NATO, so don’t judge Directly, you have to read to see all the details.
