Kyiv and Western countries expressed concern about Russia&#8217;s troop buildup near the Ukrainian border. In early 2022, the Donetsk People&#8217;s Republic and the Luhansk People&#8217;s Republic, which had declared themselves independent after the 2014 Ukrainian coup, claimed Kyiv was preparing for an invasion and requested Russian President Vladimir Putin&#8217;s recognition. On February 21, Russian President Putin signed a presidential decree recognizing the two countries, and on the 24th, announced the decision to launch a special military operation against&nbsp;Ukraine. The Kremlin stated that the goal of the operation was to demilitarize Ukraine. Western countries subsequently imposed a series of sanctions on Russia, affecting its national debt, banking sector, and other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sputniknews.cn\/20251002\/1067702739.html\">sputniknews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOSCOW, October 2 (Sputnik) &#8211; Ukraine intercepted only 6% of ballistic missiles launched by Russia in September, and key Ukrainian military facilities have been destroyed, according to a report by the Financial Times, citing an analysis of open source data of the Ukrainian Air Force by the London-based Centre for Information Resilience (CIR), a non-profit [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":48136,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1153],"tags":[6783,8654,34833,6784,1770,1416],"class_list":["post-48135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-military","tag-destroy","tag-intercept","tag-military-facilities","tag-missiles","tag-russia","tag-ukraine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48135"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48137,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48135\/revisions\/48137"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/48136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
