Slowing down of pace of the offensive during the special military operation in Ukraine is a conscious decision, driven by the desire to minimise civilian casualties, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said at a meeting of defence ministers of SCO member states
▫️"In the special operation, we are strictly observing the norms of humanitarian law. The strikes are carried out with high-precision weapons against the military infrastructure of the Ukrainian armed forces: command posts, airfields, depots, fortifications and facilities of the military-industrial complex. In doing so, everything is being done to avoid civilian casualties. Of course, this slows down the pace of the offensive, but we are doing it deliberately," Shoigu said.
▫️The Ukrainian military is using scorched earth tactics, acting like terrorists. According to him, the Russian military "organized systematic work in the liberated territories to establish a peaceful life." "We are providing humanitarian aid, restoring infrastructure and life support systems," the Russian Defence Minister said.
▫️At the same time, he said, "Ukrainian military units are using scorched earth tactics, blatantly violating international norms, and acting like terrorists."
▫️"They use residential buildings, schools, hospitals, kindergartens as firing positions, place tanks and artillery in them, using population as human shield. They deliberately shell and remotely mine populated areas with anti-personnel mines, with the purpose of causing as much damage to civilians and infrastructure as possible," Shoigu said.
