Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized the aim of the special military operations at a consultative meeting with government officials on March 18.

He said that the participants in the special military operations are fighting to defend the historic choice of the residents of the Crimea, Donbas and Novorossiya who opt to share destiny with Russia.

The residents of the Crimea, the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics and Kherson and Zaporozhe regions are invariable and unshakable in their choice to share destiny with Russia, he said, adding: It is no exaggeration to say that this choice determining the destiny of the motherland has become one of the most important and decisive milestones in the one thousand-year history of Russia and a symbol of unity and will of the multinational people.
