A mass rally concert takes place in Moscow on the occasion of the 8th anniversary of the reunification with Crimea. Vladimir Putin spoke before two hundred thousand people: the President of Russia pointed out that the causes of the Ukrainian conflict are in the criminal coup d'etat that happened on Maidan in Kiev.
Vladimir Putin, President of Russia:
People who live and have lived in Donbas did not agree with this coup. They were isolated, taken under the siege and engaged in their systematic extermination. It was a true genocide. To put an end to this genocide, we were forced to use armed force: for this purpose we launched a military operation in Donbass and Ukraine!"
