According to the report of the Daily Mail, Russia was just staging a spectacle for proof in front of the world. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu’s clock was seen running five hours slow at the time of the release of the video of Putin’s address to the nation, declaring Donetsk and Luhansk as independent countries. All these things indicate that this hearing was recorded five hours ago. That is, five hours before the world appeared, Putin had taken the decision.
What is the situation in Donetsk and Luhansk?
Donetsk, bordering Russia in eastern Ukraine, was once counted as Ukraine’s largest industrial region. It is the main city of the Donbass state, which has deposits of many important minerals. The city is one of the major steel producing centers of Ukraine. The population here is about 20 lakhs. At the same time, Luhansk, formerly known as Voroshilovgrad, is an important coal reserve for Ukraine. The city is also part of the Donbass region and shares a border with Russia. The northern part of this city is bordered by the Black Sea.
Putin’s order to the Defense Ministry
In his address to the nation, Putin declared the separatist-occupied Donetsk and Luhansk as independent. Both these areas are close to the Russian border. Immediately after this Putin ordered his Defense Ministry to send Russian troops to these two cities and conduct peace operations. That is, Russia directly ordered military operations in Ukraine.
