Russia’s special military operation carried out by its armed forces prevented and thwarted a large-scale Ukrainian attack against the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics in March 2022. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, General Igor Konashenkov.
“Since February 24, the special military operation carried out by the Russian armed forces has prevented and thwarted a large-scale attack by Ukrainian strike groups against the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics, which are not controlled by Kyiv, in March of this year,” Konashenkov said.
According to him, it is not yet known how deeply the United States and NATO have been involved in the planning and preparation of the operation to storm Donbas by the Ukrainian army.
In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense has published the secret order of the commander of Ukraine’s National Guard dated January 22, 2022, regarding the attack against Donbas in March of this year.
“The document is addressed to the heads of the northern Kyiv, southern Odesa and western territorial administrations of Ukraine’s National Guard,” Konashenkov said.
