Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Russian troops on the “liberation” of Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region on Monday, marking an important milestone for Moscow’s military action in Ukraine.
At a televised meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Putin said that the troops participating in the operation to seize the Luhansk region should rest, but other military units should continue to fight.
On Sunday, Russia claimed control of the entire Lugansk region of eastern Ukraine after conquering the strategic city of Lysychansk at the cost of intense fighting. At the same time, the Russian government accused Ukraine of killing three people by firing three missiles at a Russian town near the border between the two countries.
The Russian military continues with the bombing in eastern Ukraine this Monday and is moving forward with its plan to conquer the entire Donbass region after the strategic city of Lysychansk has fallen, as an international conference begins in Switzerland to set a roadmap for reconstruction. .
After the capture of Lysychansk, which was mostly Russian-speaking and was at the center of Donbass’ plan to conquer this industrial basin, which since 2014 has been partially controlled by pro-Russian separatists, the Russian military now appears to have focused its efforts on the two regions, Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Major cities further west that have been brutally hit since Sunday.
