"Russia's strikes on facilities in Ukraine limit the ability of military-industrial enterprises in the country to improve weapons. These strikes have a direct and positive impact on the course of military operations."
Modern.az reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this during an interview with Pavel Zarubin, a correspondent for the "Vesti" information service.
Putin noted that the Kyiv regime and its patrons have not gained and will never gain any advantage over Russia.
The Russian leader called Kyiv's and Western curators' attempt to inflict defeat on Russia within 40 days another adventure: "Opponents have long desired to bring Russia to the brink of collapse and constantly talk about this goal. The Ukrainian economy, including the country's agriculture, is in an extremely difficult situation. Ukraine is trying to intimidate Russians and disrupt elections, Russia will not allow this."
