Russian President Vladimir Putin, while emphasizing the need to increase the production and supply of air defense systems, has announced that Moscow’s ultimate goal is the complete liberation of the Donbass and Novorossiya regions.
Putin has said that Russia will not give Ukraine a chance to stop the advance of Russian forces and that Moscow’s retaliatory strikes deep into Ukrainian territory will be “much more powerful and sensitive.”
He also claimed that Russian armed forces have broken through Ukraine’s multi-layered defense lines in the central axis and that Ukrainian forces are facing a severe shortage of manpower.
The Russian president added that Kiev will pay the price for its actions in the Kursk region by losing the territories needed to create a security zone, and emphasized that Moscow’s plans do not include preserving the current Ukrainian government.
