JAKARTA - Russia's special military operation in Ukraine has so far gone according to plan, with an end date set for its implementation, according to country officials.

Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya in an interview with the BBC said that so far special military operations in Russia were proceeding as planned.

He said no one had promised to carry out the operation within three or seven days. Some experts say now, Russia's special military operations are now at a standstill, and not progressing at the speed originally envisioned. But progress is being made. That's clear.

"One of the reasons for the so-called slow pace is because we are not targeting civilian infrastructure," he explained, adding that Russian troops only hit military targets and that took time.

"We did not carry out carpet bombing or anything like that. But progress is there, that's for sure," he said.

In his words, the operation "progressed according to the originally planned military plan."

"Of course (the operation continues) with minor tactical changes, because you can't predict anything that will happen on the front lines. But the plan goes on. I don't think anyone in the Russian leadership has ever announced a plan to take Kyiv and occupy it, what is that?" You call a puppet government," said Nebenzya.

Separately, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia's special military operations in Ukraine would end when its objectives were achieved.

"Russian President (Vladimir) Putin has outlined the tasks for this special military operation. The fulfillment of these tasks means the end of special military operations," he said. Kremlin spokesman.

This is how he responded to a request to set an end date for special military operations.

At the same time, Peskov did not comment on the statement that the results of the special operations could not be achieved under the current Ukrainian regime.
