From the Russian Information Agency, an official media.
> In case of an attempted offensive, the nominally existing state of Ukraine will be liquidated.
> Ukraine's offensive in the Donbass region will mean .. a de-facto refusal to maintain its territorial integrity.
> In this case, [...] Russia will act in view of its own sovereignty, without any thought of diplomacy.
After a couple of paragraphs that describe Ukraine as a Nazi state,
> The task of liquidating such a Nazi community will require not only the removal of the whole top tier of its authorities, but the cleansing of the nazified people from Nazi influence
> This is exactly the case of Ukraine, which has taken a large-scale Nazi oath through the superficially benign vector of "aspiring to join the Europe"
(this is an article published yesterday by an official Russian media, and it's very, very scary. I can't remember reading such militaristic stuff since the early days of May 2014)
> In view of the above, it would be wrong and impossible to view the sentiments of the wide Ukrainian populace as a manifestation of the so-called Stockholm Syndrtome, in which hostages turn sympathetic to the terrorists that have taken them hostage.
> In reality, what has taken place is the transition of the so-called hostages into the terrorist camp en masse, a phenomenon in which they cease to be hostages and become terrorists themselves.
Meaning: Ukrainian people are taken hostage by "Nazis" and we (Russia) cannot tolerate this and should deal harshly with them even if they support their elected leaders (in Russian parlance, "Nazis that have taken the Ukrainian people hostage").
> Strictly speaking, the fascist nature of the social organization of the Ukrainian population cannot be doubted. The authorities have long lost any contact with law and the Constitution. [..] Nothing else could be expected in the wake of the anti-constitutional coup of 2014.
> Russian people [in Ukraine] are openly promised three things: concentration camps, filtration, and criminal punishment (which means prison torture).
> In case of an offense in Donbass, it will be not enough to apply to Ukraine the pacification methods we tried in Georgia in 2008. It will be not enough to limit ourselves with separating and protecting the terrotories that directly suffered from [Ukrainian] military aggression, terror and military crimes committed by Ukrainian Nazi formations.
(Basically, the article calls for an all-out occupation of the whole of Ukraine)
> The top Nazi officials have managed, predominantly by leading a war against the Russian population of Ukraine as a whole and the Donbass in particular, to really create a common culpability that covers both the Nazi leaders and the Ukrainian population (its people).
