On June 9, President Putin announced: Ukraine has begun the attack.
"It can be said with certainty that the Ukrainian offensive has begun, as evidenced by the mobilization of strategic reserves," President Putin said.
"Thanks to the courage of our soldiers, the correct organization of our troops, the Ukrainian army did not achieve its goals in any area. The Russian military assesses the situation realistically and will proceed from this. In recent days, we have seen significant losses of Ukraine, which exceed the "classic" indicators, "Putin stressed.

It can be affirmed that all of Kiev's counterattack attempts failed, but the offensive potential of the Ukrainian armed forces is still preserved," he added.
Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Putin called its goal "to protect those who have been subjected to repression and genocide by the Kiev regime for the past eight years." He noted that the special military operation was a forced measure, Russia "has no other options, the security risk has been created to such an extent that it is impossible to respond with other measures."
According to him, Russia has been trying for 30 years to come to terms with NATO on security principles in Europe, but in response it has been met with either cruel deception and lies, or pressure and blackmail, while the alliance, despite Moscow's objections, has gradually expanded and approached the borders of the Russian Federation.
