But the defence minister confirmed that the situation in Zaporizhzhia is tense.
Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu today said that Ukraine’s armed forces ‘have not achieved their goals’.
MOSCOW: Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu today described Ukraine’s counter-offensive as completely unsuccessful, but said the situation in part of the southern Zaporizhzhia region which Russia controls was tense. “Ukraine’s armed forces have not achieved their goals on any front,” the defence ministry quoted Shoigu as saying.“The enemy has engaged brigades from its strategic reserve whose personnel have been trained by western instructors.”
By taking control of parts of Ukraine, Russia has established a “land bridge” to Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula which it annexed in 2014.
