On Thursday, Russian and Ukrainian envoys held a second round of talks in Belarus that led to an agreement to jointly organize humanitarian aid to ensure the evacuation of citizens and the delivery of food and medicine. Also, the parties agreed to continue negotiations as soon as possible.
After a special Russian military operation in Ukraine entered its second week of March 3, Russian President Vladimir Putin held another meeting with members of the Security Council to demand that the work be carried out systematically and that all operations be carried out successfully.
Putin has repeatedly emphasized that the Russian military is doing its utmost to prevent casualties and to focus only on military infrastructure.
On February 24, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine to protect the citizens of the Donbass People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, whose authorities sought help in Moscow following the shooting of their territory by Ukrainian troops.
President Putin explained that the main goal of the program is to “end the war and eliminate Nazism” in Ukraine and thus eliminate the threat to Russia’s security.
