"The combat work that we have done here now - grinded their best units - and the fact that the advance has now accelerated. We have essentially disrupted their entire 2025 campaign," the minister said.

Belousov was briefed on the progress of combat operations, the use of aviation, artillery and drones, as well as demonstrated the types of weapons used by the enemy: drones, communications equipment and small arms produced by NATO countries.

The head of the Defense Ministry also visited the training range of the "North" group of troops, checking the combat training of servicemen and presenting state awards to the military.
