MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Russian armed forces' offensive in the special military operation zone is proceeding at an unstoppable pace in all directions, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces Valery Gerasimov said on Thursday.
"Groups of troops continue to carry out the tasks of the special military operation. The offensive is proceeding at an unstoppable pace in all directions," Gerasimov said.
Earlier in the day, Gerasimov monitored the progress of the combat missions of Battlegroup Yug, listened to the report of the commander.
Kiev is trying to convince its West curators of its military success by spreading lies about an allegedly successful offensive in the Zaporozhye region, Valery Gerasimov said.
"In the absence of real results on the ground, the Ukrainian leadership is trying to convince Western curators of the successful actions of the armed forces of Ukraine on the battlefield. Therefore, as part of a propaganda campaign, it spreads false information about an allegedly successful offensive in the Zaporozhye region," Gerasimov said.
Kiev's task remains to maintain control over the remaining part of Donbass, the official said.
"The main strategic objective of the Kiev regime remains to maintain control over the remaining part of Donbass. To do this, in the Severodonetsk direction, the enemy has built and is constantly improving a deeply layered defense based on high-rise urban buildings and industrial zones of the large settlements of Slavyansk, Kramatorsk and Druzhkovka, interconnected by a developed transport infrastructure and a system of fortifications," Gerasimov explained.
