The first stage of the war is over and the second stage has started : Russia

Moscow (Russia) – ‘The first stage of the invasion of Ukraine has been successfully completed. We are now moving towards the second chapter’, said Sergei Rudskoy, a Russian military official on the 31st day of the war.

1. Sergei further said, ‘At this time, Ukraine’s military strength has been greatly reduced. That is why we are now focusing on our main goal (gaining full control of Donbas). People think we are partitioning Ukraine, but our goal is to cause damage to the military infrastructure, equipment, and personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This will allow us to fight formidably in Donbas’.

2. ‘A total of 1,351 Russian troops have been killed so far’, Sergei said. NATO and Ukraine, meanwhile, have claimed that more than 15,000 Russian troops have been killed.
