Protection of their citizens both on the territory of the country and abroad, the accession of allied countries to hostile blocs and the upholding of national interests are the main reasons for the so -called “special operation” of the Russian Federation to Ukraine. They were listed in his post in the telegram channel Deputy Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.
“Any country puts at the forefront of the most important priorities – the protection of its citizens and state independence, – Medvedev writes.“ Moreover, this protection is possible not only in its own territory, but also on others, if there are grounds for that. In other words, in other words, in other words. Each country has the right to use military force to protect its citizens who are destroyed in foreign territories. Including, to carry out full -fledged military operations in order to protect their state and people. “
Medvedev specified that the right to conduct “such special operations” is regulated by the key provisions of the UN Charter and international practice in such cases. The grounds for hostilities, according to Medvedev, are terror and killing of citizens in the territory of a foreign state.
In addition, the deputy chairman of the Council of Security of the Russian Federation emphasized that the state has the right to defend national interests and protect the lives of its citizens. And the form in which this happens can be more rigid if it corresponds to the moment. However, Medvedev noted that the peaceful coexistence of different states is possible and necessary
