Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the high command responsible for the military operation in Ukraine, the Kremlin announced this Saturday, at a time when Ukrainian territory is the target of massive Russian bombing.
“On Friday, the president spent all day at the headquarters of the armed forces involved in the special military operation” in Ukraine, the Kremlin said in a statement.
The Russian head of state “led a meeting” attended by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Russia’s Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov and “held separate meetings with the commanders” of the various branches of the military involved in the operation .
“I would like to hear your proposals on our short- and medium-term actions,” Putin said at the meeting, clips of which were broadcast on Russian state television on Saturday.
Ukraine was the target of renewed Russian missile strikes on Friday, which Ukrainian officials say caused power cuts across the country.
After a series of military setbacks in southern and northeastern Ukraine, Russia, which launched an offensive in Ukraine at the end of February, has since October opted for a tactic of massive attacks on Ukrainian power grids and transformers, leaving millions of people without electricity or heating in a cold winter. .
