“It will be completed as soon as the goals that I have already described to you are implemented and achieved,” Lavrov said.
The head of Russian diplomacy recalled that the main goal is to protect the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics, which have been under attack by the Kyiv regime for eight years.
“When the coup took place in 2014, they said that they did not want to have anything to do with people who came to power illegally, and asked to be left alone ... They were declared terrorists, and a terrorist operation was launched by the coup leaders, who seized power by forceful, illegal methods,” the minister explained.
The DPR office at the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire (JCCC) previously informed about the wounding of 19 civilians, including four children, as a result of shelling of Makiivka by the Ukrainian military.
Subsequently, one child born in 2010 died from his injuries.
