Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:
A planned regrouping of troops is taking place in the Kiev and Chernigov directions.
At the first stage of the special military operation carried out by the Russian Armed Forces on the territory of Donbass and Ukraine, it was planned to force the enemy to concentrate his forces, means, resources and military equipment to hold large settlements in these directions, including Kyiv.
To tie them up on the battlefield and without storming these cities, in order to avoid losses among the civilian population, inflict such a defeat on the armed formations of the Kiev regime that would not allow it to use these forces in the main direction of operations of our Armed Forces - in the Donbass.
All of these goals have been met.
