Called The Russian Forces To Continue Military Operations In Ukraine, The Kremlin: All Reported To The Supreme Commander

JAKARTA - Russian President Vladimir Putin received reports of everything that occurred during special military operations, including the re-disposal of Russian troops, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday.

"Of course, everything that happened, whatever the military did during the special operation was reported to the supreme commander," he said, launching TASS September 12.

The spokesman further assured, "the president is persistent, even time-long communication with the defense minister and all military commanders can be said."

"Of course, it is impossible to do otherwise during special military operations," he added.

When asked whether the country's military leadership still won the trust of the head of state, Peskov stressed, "special military operations continue and will continue until all predetermined goals are achieved."

Earlier, Russia's Defense Ministry said on September 10, the country's military stationed in the Balakleya and Izyum regions had been brought back to increase efforts towards Donetsk.

A Kremlin spokesman did not comment on the publication that the Western Military District commander was suspected of having been fired.

"This should be referred to the Ministry of Defense," Peskov said.

This question could not be separated from the lightning strike carried out by Ukrainian forces in the country's northeast.

As previously reported, Ukrainian troops continued to push north in the Kharkiv region, as well as advance south and east, the Ukrainian military commander said on Sunday, a day after they made Russian troops leave their main strongholds in the area.

Volodymyr Zelensky president praised Ukraine's progress in northeastern Kharkiv province as a potential breakthrough in a six-month war, saying this winter could sooner seize many regions if Kyiv could get stronger weapons.
