The Russian president Vladimir Putin assessed that the “special military operation” in Ukraine is following a “positive momentum” after the announcement of the capture of the city of Solentar, in eastern Ukraine, a capture which Kyiv still denies.
“The momentum is positive and everything is going according to the plans of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff. I hope that our fighters will please us even more with their military results,” the Russian president said, speaking to Russian state television channel Rossiya 1.
For its part, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced today that Russian forces launched a wave of missile attacks against Ukrainian military and infrastructure yesterday Saturday.
At least 21 people killed in a Russian attack on an apartment building in the eastern city of Dnipro yesterday afternoon, according to Ukrainian authorities.
The Russian Defense Ministry made no mention of Dnipro as a specific target of any raids.
It also said its troops were making progress towards the city of Bakhmut – the focus of Russian attacks in recent months – in Ukraine’s Donetsk province. According to the Russian ministry, Russian troops advanced towards the northern suburbs of the city.
