Polyansky reported on the information received by Russia about the attack from Ukraine

During a special operation in Ukraine, Moscow received documents testifying to the existence of specific plans to strike at RUSSIA from Ukrainian territory, Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Russian Permanent Representative to the UN, said on Sky News.

“I can say that it is now obvious that we are now in a proxy war. NATO is waging a proxy war with Russia, not the other way around. This is the reality we are facing. <...> The documents clearly indicate that there were specific plans to strike at Russia from the territory of Ukraine,” Polyansky said.

According to the Deputy Representative, the Russian military also found documents with plans to strike at Donbass. Thus, according to him, Russia dealt a kind of preemptive strike.

The military special operation in Ukraine was the only way for Russia to preempt aggression against its own territory, said President Vladimir Putin , speaking at the Victory Parade on Red Square in Moscow.

According to Putin, the danger from NATO grew every day, and Russia gave a "preemptive rebuff to aggression."

Russia has been conducting a military operation in Ukraine since February 24. The President called its main goals the protection of the population of Donbass from "genocide", as well as the "demilitarization and denazification" of the neighboring state. A few days earlier, Putin signed a decree recognizing the sovereignty of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as agreements on military cooperation.
