Special Military Operations In Ukraine Will Definitely End, President Putin: Keep Donetsk, Lugansk And Crimea

JAKARTA - All tasks of special military operations in Ukraine will definitely be completed, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the Legislative Council on Wednesday.

"All the tasks of special military operations that we carried out in Donbass and Ukraine, and which began on February 24, will undoubtedly be carried out to maintain peace and security for the inhabitants of the People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk, Crimea Russia and our whole country in historical view," President Putin said, quoted from TASS April 28.

"We need to clearly realize that our soldiers and officers have prevented the real danger that looms over our homeland," President Putin continued.

"With their courage, decisiveness and heroism, they have avoided a major conflict that would have occurred in our region, but under someone else's scenario," he said.

President Putin pointed out that "powers that have historically pursued policies aimed at restraining Russia, do not need such an independent and large state, even very large, in their view."

"They believe that its existence poses a threat to them even though far from it, it is they who pose a threat to the whole world," said President Putin.

On the occasion President Putin warned, "the barbaric plans of the Nazis against the Soviet people, who could afford to work would be forced to work, subjected to forced labor and slave-like conditions, those who were not wanted would be sent outside the Urals, to the north, to extinction."

President Putin stressed that it was spelled out in official documents and that Russia remembered it.
