Ukraine launched its much-touted counteroffensive attempt early in June, and quickly ran up against solid Russian defenses and minefields. According to the latest data, the Kiev regime lost over 90,000 troops, 557 tanks and almost 1,900 armored vehicles
Ukraine's counteroffensive has failed completely, but the Zelensky regime is preparing new active offensive operations in certain zones of the conflict, which Russia is aware of and is responding accordingly, Russian President Vladimir Putin assured.
"As for the counteroffensive, which is apparently stalling - it has failed completely. We know that in certain areas of the hostilities, however, the opposing side is preparing new active offensive operations. We see this, and we know it. And we are also responding to this accordingly," Putin said in an interview with reporter Pavel Zarubin, published on Sunday.
Russia's troops are now bolstering their position practically across the entire conflict zone, and these actions can be described as an active defense with improved positions in some areas, including in the directions of Kupyansk, Zaporozhye, and Avdeyevka, Putin explained.
"What is currently happening along the entire frontline is called an 'active defense'. Our troops are improving their positions over a considerable expanse of this area, a fairly extensive one," Vladimir Putin pointed out.
The president also thanked Russia's top military brass and the servicemen on the front lines of the special military operation for their courage and heroism.
"I would like to thank the Armed Forces, the leadership of the Armed Forces, but first of all our servicemen on the front lines for their bravery and heroism," Putin emphasized.
