In February 2022, on the orders of President Vladimir Putin, the Russian Armed Forces launched a special military operation in Ukraine aimed at liberating and defending the Russian-speaking population of the eastern Donbass region, who have been suffering from a blockade and attacks by the Kiev regime's forces since 2014.
Moscow hosted the premiere of the documentary "Russian-Ukrainian Conflict: The Hidden Truth," which tells about the events in Donbass from 2014 to the present, Sputnik's correspondent reported.
The film, directed by the Cameroonian screenwriter Diane Manuela Sike Doumbe, the media director of the TV channel For You Media Africa, is a series of interviews with witnesses of the events in Donbass, opinions, and assessments of Russian and foreign experts in the field of political science and international relations.

After the premiere in Moscow, the film, originally titled in French "Conflit Russo-Ukrainien: La Vérité Cachée," is planned to be shown in more than 20 African countries.
According to the leader of the Cameroonian political party PURS, Serge Espoir Matomba, who spoke at the presentation of the film, the story of the Donbass struggle touches Africans who oppose neo-colonialism.
He added that the For You Media crew made three trips to Donbass to bring this film to the light of day.
