Russian MOD chief explains main military objective of 2023

Moscow’s forces are now improving their position everywhere on the battlefield, Sergey Shoigu said

Thwarting Ukraine’s counteroffensive was the Russian military’s main goal this year and it has been successfully fulfilled, Russia’s Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said.

Russian forces are steadily moving towards achieving the goals of the country’s military operation in Ukraine, Shoigu said during a teleconference with top commanders on Tuesday.

The “main” goal in 2023 was “to thwart the much-hyped counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, announced by Ukraine and its NATO allies. This task had been successfully fulfilled,” he reported.
