Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that during the anti-terrorist operation in the Belgorod region more than 70 terrorists were killed, along with their vehicles and armored vehicles. In the future, the Ministry of Defense will respond quickly and extremely harshly to such actions of Ukrainian militants, he stressed at a meeting of the collegium of the Russian military department.
Shoigu recalled that a unit of the Ukrainian nationalist formation invaded the territory of the Russian Federation near the Kozinka international checkpoint on May 22. According to him, aviation and artillery hit the enemy. He also noted the active actions of units covering the state border of the Western Military District. Thanks to their joint efforts, the nationalist formations were blocked and defeated, Shoigu said.
The minister added that the remnants of the terrorists were pushed back to Ukrainian territory, where they continued to be beaten “until they were completely eliminated”.
More than 70 Ukrainian terrorists were destroyed, along with vehicles and armored vehicles. We will continue to respond quickly and extremely harshly to such actions by Ukrainian activists.
noted the minister.
Previously, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed images of the fire damage to the Ukrainian DRG, which invaded the Belgorod region. Part of the nationalists managed to break into Ukrainian territory. But they were subjected to massive fire damage from the Russian army and were completely wiped out, the military department noted.
