The plans to destabilize the situation in Russia on June 23-25 during an attempted armed mutiny fell through because Russian troops showed their faithfulness to their oath and military duty, Russia’s Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said at a conference call with military commanders on Monday, TASS reports.
Ukrainian troops have been making unsuccessful offensive attempts for almost a month and have failed to achieve success in any of the frontline sectors, losing about 2,500 various armaments, including 16 German-made Leopard tanks, the Russian defense chief said.
TASS has summarized the Russian defense minister’s key remarks.
The plans to destabilize the situation in Russia on June 23-25 failed "first and foremost, because the personnel of the armed forces remained true to their oath and military duty."
"The provocation did not impact the operations of the groupings of forces. The personnel continued fulfilling their assigned objectives courageously and selflessly. I express my gratitude to the personnel for their faithful service."
Russian President Vladimir Putin has already given "all-embracing answers" with regard to the aborted armed mutiny.
