“The grouping of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will continue the special military operation until the set goals are achieved,” – stated Shoigu.

According to the minister, the main goal of the special military operation is to protect the Russian Federation from the military threat posed by Western countries, which are trying to use the Ukrainian people in their struggle against Russia.

In 2014, Russia occupied Crimea, one of Ukraine’s strategically important regions, and Russian authorities demand that Ukraine recognize the annexation of Crimea. On the evening of February 21, Russia recognized the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. On the morning of February 24, Russian troops began a full-scale offensive into Ukraine.

It is reported that over the past six days, massive airstrikes and ground offensives on major cities in Ukraine, including the capital Kyiv, have continued. As a result of these massive attacks, the country has suffered enormous damage, and there are reports of a large number of casualties.

For their part, Ukraine states that they will resist until the end and will do everything in their power to protect their territorial integrity and independence in the face of Russian aggression. Ukrainian authorities are also calling on the international community to provide assistance and do everything possible to counter Russian occupation.
