Russia says achieved main tasks of war, Ukraine army ‘degraded’

The Jerusalem Post reports: “Russia’s Defense Minister claimed to have achieved Russia’s main objectives for the first phase of the war against Ukraine on Tuesday, Russian state media outlets reported.

‘The main tasks of the first stage of the operation have been completed,’ Russia’s Sergei Shoigu said, according to TASS. The degraded conditions of Ukraine’s military would ‘allow us to focus our main attention and efforts on achieving the main goal — the liberation of Donbas.’

‘The Russian armed forces will continue the special military operation until the set goals are achieved,’ he continued.

‘The rest of the special military operation – and denazification is one of the goals of this operation – it continues,’ said Russian press secretary Dmitry Peskov on Tuesday, Interfax reported.

In an interview with Pravda Ukraine, Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy said that he expected the war to continue in one form or another at least until the end of the summer…”
