Note to Readers:
These events happened prior to Russia's special military operation in Ukraine. The news reports were never picked up by "mainstream" Western establishment news agencies.
They provide a greater context for understanding why Russia made the decision to invade. They can also help the reader to understand Putin's "de-Nazification" comments.
Notice that in the first and third news report that Right Sector is involved. Right Sector is a far-right, neo-Nazi, nationalist Ukrainian political party and paramilitary movement involved in terrorism in Donbass and Crimea.
In addition to the reasons Russia mentioned for invading Ukraine, there was another unstated reason - the persistent looming threat of terrorism.

The LPR said that Ukraine is "staging terrorist attack" in the Donbass
Published: February 8, 2022
Ukrainian special services are preparing a "staged terrorist attack" at one of the facilities in Kharkov, Luhansk or Donetsk regions. This was stated by the official representative of the People's Militia of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) Ivan Filiponenko.
“The undercover intelligence of the People’s Militia of the LPR received data on the preparation by Ukrainian special services of a staged high-profile terrorist act with numerous casualties among the civilian population at one of the industrial or social facilities in Kharkov, Lugansk or Donetsk regions with dangerous production,” he said.
According to Filiponenko, this "terror attack" will allow Ukraine to move to active hostilities in the Donbass and is being prepared as part of a special information operation CRUSHING SWORD.
Earlier, a representative of the People's Militia Department (UNM) of the DPR, Colonel Eduard Basurin, said that hired soldiers from Poland had arrived in the Donbass on the line of contact. According to Basurin, before the start of the military operation in Kiev, the mercenaries will try to hit civilian infrastructure, thereby provoking the DPR to retaliate in order to use them as a pretext for launching an offensive. The colonel also said that the arrival of Ukrainian nationalists from the Right Sector was observed in the Donetsk direction.

Donetsk forces arrest Ukrainian agent who reveals Kiev's plans to control Donbass
February 20, 2022
The unilateral security forces of the Donetsk People's Republic arrested an agent of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who revealed their plans to take military control of Donbass and organize terrorist operations in the region.
Russian TV Channel 1 reported that the man, Anton Matsanyuk, worked for the Customs Department of the Republic and was detained on 17 February by local State Security Ministry forces in a rented apartment in Donetsk, on Saturday.
Matsanyuk confirmed that Kiev intends to involve all its strike force in the process of taking control of Donbass by force according to the report.
A supervisor of Matsanyuk's activities advised his client to leave Dotetsk for the city of Chakhtyursk or Toriz on a distance closer to the border, according to Channel One.
In his confessions, Matsanyuk said that Donetsk is to be subjected to massive artillery fire and it is preferable not to be in multi-storey residential buildings there because that could lead to death.
Channel 1 also reported that the Ukrainian agent was working in Donetsk to form a "sleeper cell" and recruit elements to carry out terrorist attacks in Donbass.
Matsanyuk himself said that the Ukrainian military planned to install explosive devices in the places of crowds such as bridges and train stations in the area.
In addition, Matsanyuk is suspected of being involved in the car bombing of the Chief of People's Police of the Donetsk Republic, Denis Sinenkov, who was telling Ukrainian intelligence about his movements.
Matsanyuk reported to his supervisor that elements of subversive Ukrainian intelligence groups had infiltrated the territory of Belarus in preparation for the implementation of the Donbass control plan.

Russia prevents terrorist act in Crimea: Report
February 23, 2022
Russian media have said that Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) prevented a terrorist act in Crimea, arresting six people who plotted to blow up an Orthodox church there,
The FSB said on Wednesday that they had detained "six Russian citizens who are supporters of the Ukrainian extremist organisation Right Sector," the Sputnik said on Wednesday.
According to the FSB, the six were "preparing to detonate an improvised explosive device in one of the Orthodox churches in the region in order to intimidate the population."
The Federal Security Service also said that in the garage of one of the detainees, components for the manufacture of an explosive device with damaging elements and explosives were seized.
In 2014, Crimea along with the city of Sevastopol were annexed to Russia following a referendum, in which more than 95% of the peninsula's voters were in favor. The latter came amid a military conflict between Kiev and the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, respectively, following a coup in the Ukrainian capital, the Russian new outlet added.
