Earlier today, the Russian Special Operations Forces announced a series of operations they conducted during Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, revealing that they terminated 300 extremist nationalists in one operation.

The operation took place in Kharkov, and those eliminated were neutralized during heavy fighting in the city. The forces also stressed that they were working on securing roads to ensure the safety of military convoys and humanitarian aid convoys.

Russian National Defense Management Center chief Mikhail Mezentsev had revealed that Ukrainian nationalists were forcing civilians to join their ranks.

Russia launched its special military operation for several reasons, including NATO's eastward expansion. Other reasons were the Ukrainian shelling of Donbass and the killing of the people of the Donetsk People's Republic and Lugansk People's Republic, in addition to Moscow wanting to "denazify" and demilitarize Ukraine.
