Iran Press/ America: "The US State Department continues to disseminate speculation about the 'filtration camps' allegedly set up by us in the DPR, as well as the involvement of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the destruction of educational, medical institutions, and cultural facilities in the LPR. This is another fake aimed at discrediting the Russian special military operation.," the embassy's press service said in a statement.
The Russian diplomatic mission noted that "Russia is committed to observing the norms of International Humanitarian Law." In turn, the embassy stressed, "back in 2014, representatives of Kyiv announced the use of "special measures" against residents of southeastern Ukraine, aimed at identifying persons who allegedly "could be associated with separatists."
"In other words, it was about purging everyone whom the Ukrainian special services would suspect of disloyalty to the Neo-Nazis who had settled in Kyiv. Since then, the actions of the Ukrainian authorities have become more and more brutal. The United States chose to take no notice of that for eight years. Even now, they don't see it from point-blank range," the embassy said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on February 24 that he had decided to carry out a special military operation in response to a request by the heads of the Donbas Republics.
The Russian president stressed that Moscow had no plans to occupy Ukrainian territories, noting that the operation aimed at the denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine.
