On February 22, the State Duma (the Russian Parliament) unanimously ratified the treaties on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance with the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR).
After approval by the State Duma, the treaties concluded with the republics of the Donbass were supported by the Federation Council.
The Russian Ministry of Defense is also ready to use all available measures to eliminate the threat to peace in the Donbass, Deputy Defense Minister Nikolai Pankov said, according to RIA Novosti reports.

Nikolai Pankov, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, who spoke before the senators, stated:

“The Ukrainian leadership has embarked on the path of violence and bloodshed. On the borders of the DPR and LPR, Ukraine has built up a 60,000-strong military group, which includes heavy armored vehicles, missile systems, and multiple rocket launchers.”
