Putin issued an urgent speech, saying that the whole course of events and the analysis of the information showed that a conflict between the Russian Federation and the Nationalist forces in Ukraine was inevitable and that it was only a matter of time. He also called on the Ukrainian military to "immediately lay down its arms and go home" and promised to "react immediately" to "outside forces" that seek to pose a threat to Russia, "something that has never happened in your history." Military operations in Donbass began, and Russia's plan did not include the occupation of Ukraine. Putin called this goal "demilitarization and de-Nazismization."
