❗"After the coup d'état [in Ukraine] in 2014, the residents of Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea did not want to recognize the coup ... A war started against them and was waged for eight years. Our mission, the mission of our soldiers and the militia of Donbass is to stop this war, to protect people. Of course, we need to protect Russia itself, because an anti-Russian enclave that threatens our country is being created on the territory of today's Ukraine, so our guys are protecting the inhabitants of Donbass and Russia itself," Putin said.

▪The silence of the United Nations after the provocations by Kiev casts doubt on the objectivity of the UN towards the situation around the ZNPP and this leads to further escalation;

▪The deathly silence of Kiev’s Western sponsors on the topic of the provocation at the ZNPP actually confirms their tacit participation in its preparation;

▪The position of IAEA chief Grossi and his team, who went to the nuclear power plant despite the provocations of Kiev and Ukrainian shelling, deserves respect
