With a [[diplomatic]] solution rejected out of hand by the United States and NATO, the Russian Federation entered Ukraine on February 24, 2022 to put a stop to the eight year war against the people of the Donbas by the Kyiv regime which had already claimed 14,000 lives. After more than two weeks fighting claiming more civilian lives with NATO-supplied weapons, on March 12, 2022, NATO Secretary-General [[Jens Stoltenberg]] began walking back NATO threats to Russia by saying membership for Ukraine was not relevant or on the agenda.<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/ukraines-nato-membership-is-not-relevant-or-on-the-agenda-jens-stoltenberg_4333429.html</ref>

On February 15, 2022 the State Duma passed a resolution calling for the recognition of the independence of the breakaway republics of [[Donetsk]] and [[Lugansk]] in eastern Ukraine by a vote of 351 to 16 with 1 abstention.<ref>https://www.rt.com/russia/549425-state-duma-backed-donbass-independency/</ref>
In June 2023 state Duma deputy and director of the Institute of Russian Strategic Studies Elena Panina stated:
{{quotebox-float|"denazification of Ukraine is, first of all, its de-Americanization. The denazification of Ukraine means the complete military defeat of all its institutions created by the United States for the war with Russia. There can be no denazification without the de-Americanization of Ukraine. No denazification is possible in that part of Ukraine that will remain under US rule. It was for the sake of growing Nazism that the United States came to Ukraine. Money is not their main goal. They will pay any price for the destruction of Russia.
Russia is fighting in Ukraine primarily with the United States, which has turned Ukraine into a Nazi reserve. Freezing, cessation of hostilities under any pretext means the cessation of the denazification of Ukraine and the abandonment of the goals of the [[SMO]]. To solve the problem of Nazism in Ukraine, the United States must be expelled from there. If the de-Americanization of Ukraine is not brought to an end, Nazism in it will always seek to destroy Russia.
We have no right to allow this. The goals of the SMO must be fully fulfilled."}}

Under [[President Donald Trump]], [[Elon Musk]] called out [[USAID]] as a "criminal organization" whose time is up. The [[deep state]] architects of USAID watched their house of cards collapse. Russia didn't just survive the attempted takeover, it thrived by rejecting [[neoliberalism]] and charting its own [[sovereign]] path.
