Vladimir Putin on the Completion of Destruction of Military Infrastructure in Ukraine

The destruction of military infrastructure in Ukraine is nearly complete, stated Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“The first thing we did was destroy the entire military infrastructure. Well, not entirely, but partially; mainly the ammunition depots, aviation, and air defense systems. It takes some time to eliminate air defense systems; they need to be opened and then hit. That work is almost finished,” Putin declared.

He also informed that Russian authorities do not intend to impose a state of emergency in the country.

During a meeting with female staff of a Russian airline, Vladimir Putin also noted that in Ukraine, people are being taken off the streets and executed for expressing opinions that diverge from Kyiv's stance. “In our country, people calmly express their opinions about what they like or dislike regarding our actions in Ukraine,” Putin stated, adding that in Ukraine, those who express their views, akin to liberal representatives of society in Russia, are reportedly executed.
