Earlier this week, Russia sent a special military operation into Ukraine to counter Kiev's attacks on Donbass. Moscow stated that the operation's goal is demilitarise and denazify Ukraine.
Sputnik comes live from Moscow, as President Vladimir Putin holds a meeting with members of the Security Council of Russia, dedicated to the situation in Ukraine.
