In an Arab Observer article was this

“Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised address on February 24 that, in response to a request by the heads of the Donbass republics, he had made a decision to carry out a special military operation in order to protect people ‘who have been suffering from abuse and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.’ The Russian leader stressed that Moscow had no plans of occupying Ukrainian territories. Its objectives are demilitarization and de-Nazification of the country.

“After the announcement, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and some other countries announced they were imposing sanctions on Russian officials and individuals.”

From the Embassy of the Russian Federation in New Zealand

“The Eight-year-long daily exposure to the war zone's lethal fire under Kiev-imposed full transport and economic blockade, suspension of social benefits and pension payments has taken a heavy toll on the DNR and LNR civilian population with many thousands killed or wounded, and their houses destroyed.”

“Russia’s decision to recognize the two Donbass republics is based primarily on humanitarian grounds, with a view to protect civilians, hundreds of thousands of them being Russian nationals. The decision is strongly underpinned by the provisions of the 1970 Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States.

“As this fundamental UN instrument holds, the principle of sovereign and territorial integrity must strictly apply to states conducting themselves in compliance with the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples and thus possessed of a government representing the whole people belonging to the territory without distinction as to race, creed or color.

“This is definitely not the case with the current Ukrainian regime that has totally failed to represent the whole people living on the territory of the country and opened a most tragic page in Ukrainian history.”
