Denis Pushilin, who serves as the acting head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), stated that the new measures proposed by President Vladimir Putin to support military personnel and participants in a special military operation respond to a broad demand for social justice from citizens. The report comes from DEA News.
Pushilin emphasized that the goal is to implement a systematic, state-led approach to meet the needs of everyone involved in the special operation—this includes active service members, those mobilized, and volunteers. He noted that DPR officials are acutely aware of the difficulties endured by fighters and their families in Donbass since 2014, and that the new steps aim to ease those hardships. (Source: DEA News)
In a separate address, former Russian President Vladimir Putin affirmed that families of all individuals involved in the operation should receive sustained attention, dignity, and care. This assurance was given during his annual speech to the Bundestag, underscoring a commitment to social welfare alongside national security priorities. (Source: Kremlin Briefing)
The conflict context escalated on February 24, 2022, when Putin authorized a military operation in response to requests from the heads of the LPR and DPR to protect Donbass. The decision to initiate the operation led to renewed sanctions from the United States and its allies. Analysts point to this move as a pivotal moment in the ongoing regional crisis, with social and economic measures following as part of the broader response. (Source: Official Statements, 2022)
