The Ukrainian armed forces have failed to achieve any of their goals in three months of counteroffensive, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday, SIA reports.
"The Kyiv regime, despite their huge losses, has been trying to conduct the so-called counter-offensive for the third month already. The armed forces of Ukraine did not achieve their goals in any of the directions," the minister told senior defense officials.
He added that the Russian troops are active "along the entire line of contact."
Shoigu added that Kyiv is "desperately trying to demonstrate" at least some military success to the West to keep receiving their military and economic support.
"In attempt to hide the failure of the offensive, Ukrainian militants attack civilian targets and pass them off as military victories," Sputnik quoted as the minister saying.
Ukrainian troops have lost more than 66,000 military and 7,600 weapons since the beginning of the counteroffensive, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said.
"Since the beginning of the so-called offensive, enemy losses have exceeded 66,000 people and 7,600 weapons," Shoigu told at a meeting with senior defense officials.
Additionally, Russian air defense systems have shot down 159 HIMARS rockets, over 1,000 unmanned aerial vehicles and 13 cruise missiles over the past month, the minister said.
