President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, comrades.
We are holding a regular meeting on the developments in the special military operation. I know that you have things to report and some good news and results for the public. We will certainly discuss them and will consider subsequent short-term tasks.
I would like to hear reports from the commanders of the Centre and East groups, on the situation in the respective front sectors and on the performance of your subordinate troops.
As we established during previous similar meetings, I would like to ask the Chief of the General Staff to report on the overall situation at the front line.
Mr Gerasimov, please.
To be continued.
