        There is now a reply. I don’t want to shock you, so make sure you’re sitting down: in no way does the source support the view that Russia sought:

        The return of Ukraine in its entirety to the russian nation for one.

        Here is the quote, to save you scrolling up:

        “I would like to emphasise once again that our men and officers are fighting in Ukraine for Russia, for a peaceful life for the citizens of Donbass, and for the denazification and demilitarisation of Ukraine, so that no anti-Russia, which the West has been creating for years right on our border, can threaten us, including with nuclear weapons, as has recently become the case.
