Putin - about the progress of the SMO:

Putin - about the progress of the SMO: “Regarding speed, regarding results. You said that I have a great responsibility. Yes indeed. Is it possible to increase the speed of solving the problems we face? It is possible, but it is directly proportional to the losses. And understanding my responsibility, I still proceed from what the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense propose. Speed is important, but even more important is caring for the lives and health of our guys who are fighting at the front. Therefore, combat work is underway, but since the beginning of this year, 47 settlements have been liberated, 880, in my opinion, square kilometers. We are gradually pushing the enemy out of the territory of Donbass and other adjacent territories. The General Staff and the Ministry of Defense have plans for the implementation and achievement of all our goals, and we are acting on these plans. I am sure that all these plans will be implemented.
