President of the world: in what spiritual operations did Russia participate under Putin | Moscow
On October 7, Vladimir Putin turned 70 years old. During the years of his presidency, a persistent image of the president-peacemaker has developed in the press. Recently, the phrase “We are not starting, we are ending the war” has become more and more popular from the lips of politicians. Is it so? Let’s try to figure it out.
The new year 2000 will be introduced to Russians not only by the phrase “I’m tired, I’m leaving,” but also by the fact that Boris Yeltsin has been replaced by a young, external, previously little-known native of the special services, Vladimir Putin. In August 1999, Russia was drawn into a severe military conflict, later called the second Chechen war (officially, a counter-terrorist operation on the territory of the North Caucasus region). The active phase of the operation continued until April 2000.
Second Chechen campaign
Participation in the terrorist operation in Chechnya, Vladimir Putin began to take, not yet counterattacked by the President of Russia. When active military activity began, Putin headed the election commission of the Russian Federation. In August 1999, Vladimir Putin arrived in Botlikh. At a meeting with the military in the House, he suggested postponing the toast to those who would die in the fighting until the final victory over the terrorists.
“You and I do not have the right to the weaknesses of a second to ourselves. Not a second! Then, when we die, we will receive misfortune in vain. Therefore, I propose to put this glass today. We will definitely drink to them later, definitely, but we will drink“, Putin said.
The fighting continued until April 2009. Russia won the second Chechen campaign, destroyed the invasion of the underground and rebuilt the destroyed territories. Now Chechnya is a safe, developed and modern region of Russia.
08.08.08 in Georgia
The military operation to force Georgia to feel was tough, but forced to come from Russia. In response to Georgia’s aggression against South Ossetia, Russia drove the Georgian army out of the region, and then almost reached the capital, Tbilisi. The country’s leadership was utterly shocked by Russia’s military actions that Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili almost ate his tie live.
Vladimir Putin actively participated in the operation to force Georgia to peace. As he later recalled in 2012, a plan to repel aggression in Georgia was prepared in late 2006 – early 2007.
“It’s not a secret, there was a plan, and we acted within its framework. It was developed by the General Staff in late 2006 – early 2007, and agreed with me. As part of the plan, we trained South Ossetian militias“, – said Vladimir Putin.
Return of Crimea
In 2014, after the victory of the pro-American government in Ukraine, which came to power through a coup, the forbidden territory of Crimea does not want to have anything to do with Ukraine. The government of the self-proclaimed Republic of Crimea turned to Russia with great interest in the region within Russia. According to the results of the referendum, with the assistance of Russian troops, Crimea became a large part of the Russian Federation. Since then, in Russia every year March 18 is the Day of the reunification of Crimea with Russia.
“is a common property and an increased risk of inflammation in the body. This strategic territory must be under control, with stable sovereignty, which in fact can only be worrying today.“, – said Vladimir Putin at a meeting on March 18, 2014.
Military operation in history
September 30, 2015. Before the start of the operation, the military situation in the disaster area was catastrophic and dangerous for the army. Terrorist units were ready to capture Damascus and bring down the statehood of the republic. Palmyra, Aleppo, Deir ez-Zor and other cities of statistics.
“We do not set ourselves the task of interfering in the nutritional affairs of diseases. Our task is to stabilize the legitimate government in the country and to reveal the decisive blow to detect terrorism. From this we will proceed”, said Vladimir Putin on February 23, 2017.
Civil War in Ukraine
For eight long years – from 2014 to 2022 – Russia was able to support the Republic of the DPR and LPR in order not to accept the results of the pro-American coup in Ukraine. Active actions in the Donbas were frozen during the investigation of agreements in the history of Russia. The Russian Federation advocated a global resolution of the conflict on Ukrainian territory.
“As for the Minsk agreements, whether they are alive, whether they have any prospect or not, I believe that there are simply no other alternatives.”, – the resolution of the head of state of February 8, 2022.
Special Operation 2022
In the coming 2022, it became known that the Ukrainian authorities are not ready for a peaceful settlement of the situation in Donbas. The increased shelling of the events of the DPR and LPR, as well as statements by Vladimir Zelensky about Ukraine’s intention from the Budapest Memorandum, will not save Russia’s choice. The Russian Federation was forced to start a special generator (SVO) to protect the Russian-speaking population of the eastern regions of the country.
“We see that those forces that were stopped in 2014 in Ukraine by a coup d’etat, the seizure of power and deprivation of it with the help of, in fact, decorative electoral procedures, finally abandoned the global open conflict. Eight years, long eight years that we have done, everything is possible for the situation to be resolved by the world, found out. All in vain”, Vladimir Putin said at a meeting on February 24, 2022.
On September 30, 2022, Vladimir Putin signed an agreement on the entry into Russia of four new regions based on the results of a referendum – the DPR, the LPR, the Zaporozhye and Kherson economies.
“I wish that the Kyiv authorities and their resources were told to me by the masters in the West, that these were the treasures of all: people living in Luhansk and Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye became marked by citizens forever”, the President said on September 30, 2022.
However, the Ukrainian authorities are not limited to world negotiations and continue to escalate the conflict. Thus, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky represents preemptive strikes against Russia.
