MoD: No Threat to Civilians as Russia Conducts 'Precision Strikes' on Ukrainian Military Targets
04:43 GMT 24.02.2022 (Updated: 05:29 GMT 24.02.2022) Earlier this week, Russia officially recognised the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics and urged Kiev to stop attacks on Donbass. As shellings by Ukrainian forces escalated in the region, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation aimed at the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine.
"Ukrainian military infrastructure, air defence facilities, military airfields, and air forces are being neutralised by high-precision weapons", the Russian Ministry of Defence said in a statement.
The MoD stressed there are no threats to the civilian population.
The tensions have been escalating over the past few days, with Ukrainian forces shelling the territory of Donbass, forcing thousands to evacuate to Russia.
Following an appeal from the leaders of the Donetsk People's Republic and Lugansk People's Republic, Moscow recognised both as independent nations and called on Ukraine to stop the eight-year-long war in the region. Russia also stressed that it will protect the people of Donbass against any threats, as president Putin noted the actions of the
Ukrainian regime in the region are genocide.
In response to the ongoing attacks, President Putin authorised the military to conduct a special operation to protect Donbass, aiming at the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine and saying that people who committed war crimes during the eight-year-long bloodshed should stand trial.
