The minister noted that the Russian troops achieved their goal thanks to an effective system of defense lines, the high combat capability of all units and units, reliability and effectiveness of military equipment of the Russian Armed Forces.
The head of the Ministry of Defense said that the occupiers are allegedly expanding the occupied territories in all directions, occupying more advantageous positions. Putin’s general is also convinced that the “liberators,” thanks to their common efforts in the rear and at the front, “seized the initiative on the battlefield.”
Recall that the commander of the Dnepr group of troops, Mikhail Teplinsky, called on Shoigu to allow him to withdraw his troops in the Kherson region, to which the head of the Russian Defense Ministry refused.
