Russia claims military superiority over Western arms in Ukraine
‘Kyiv regime was unable to achieve its goals in the counteroffensive prepared by NATO instructors,’ Russia’s Defense Minister Shoygu asserted
Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu asserted that the Russian military “dispelled the myth of the superiority” of Western arms during Ukraine’s counteroffensive last year.
“The Kyiv regime was unable to achieve its goals in the counteroffensive prepared by NATO instructors,” Shoygu stated at the opening of the Defense Ministry Board.
Expressing that enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex have significantly increased their capacity, Shoygu claimed they have also significantly increased the combat capabilities of the armed forces, evidenced by the situation in Ukraine.
Russian troops to have new generation S-500 missile system
Shoygu announced Russia’s commitment to continue improving the composition and structure of the armed forces and to increase the production of popular weapons and military equipment “in proportion to the threats posed by the U.S. and its allies.”
He further stated that they would increase the intensity of attacks on logistics centers and storage bases in Ukraine for Western weapons. Shoygu also announced that Russian troops will be receiving the first samples of a new generation S-500 anti-aircraft missile system this year.
The defense minister reiterated claims made in the past month that Russian forces took control of the settlements of Pervomaiske, Bohdanivka, and Novomikhailivka in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region.
He added that Russia’s zone of control is being expanded near the settlements of Berdychi and Heorhiivka.
Russia’s Orenburg region hit with worst flooding in decades
Shoygu also addressed the situation regarding flooding, stating that ministry personnel are working to stabilize the situation in multiple regions, including Orenburg and Tyumen.
Earlier this month, hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated in Russia and neighboring Kazakhstan after melting snow and heavy rain resulted in the overflow of several rivers, including the Ural and Ishim rivers.
