Putin: Goal of Spec Op to set Donbass free from genocide

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that the main goal of the Russian special operation in Ukraine is setting free the people of Donbass from the "genocide" being waged against them.

During an address in Luzhniki Stadium, Putin added that "[the Donbass residents], who did not agree with the [2014] coup [in Kiev], were immediately hit with punitive military operations. A blockade was immediately put in place against these people. They were subjected to systematic shelling, airstrikes. This is what is called 'genocide'."

Putin went on to say that Ukraine will be demilitarized and de-Nazified and that all "war criminals" responsible for the bloodshed in Donbass will face punishment. 

Furthermore, he clarified that it was the only way to put an end to the "genocide" in that area.
