The Russian offensive in the neighboring state is going as planned, Defense Minister Shoigu has said
The Russian military campaign in Ukraine is progressing as intended, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said. The relatively slow pace is the result of a conscious decision to protect civilian lives, he stated.
Speaking at an international event on Wednesday, the minister stated that Russia âstrictly follows the norms of humanitarian lawâ in Ukraine, countering claims to the contrary made by Kiev.
âWe do everything to avoid casualties among peaceful citizens. Certainly, it slows down the pace of the offensive, but we take this approach consciously,â he added.
Shoigu contrasted Russiaâs priorities in Ukraine with those of the US and its allies. The ongoing supplying of weapons to Kiev and other Western policies only prolong the conflict and inflate the human cost, he said.
Western nations have accused Russia of launching an unprovoked war of aggression against the neighboring country, and have said their military assistance will continue for âas long as it takes.â Moscow, which believes the operation was necessary to stop NATOâs creeping expansion into Ukraine, says its opponents want to âfight to the last Ukrainianâ in order to hurt Russia.
The senior Russian military official was speaking during a ministerial meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a regional Eurasian security group that counts nations such as China, India, and Pakistan among its members.
Usa and NATO learn from.what they are doing . In reality russia could have smoked UKRAINE in 2 hours.Â
Usa and NATO only smoked CIVILIANS.

Over 4,000 pro-Kiev troops were killed in southern and eastern Ukraine in a five-day period, the Russian Defense Ministry claims
Ukrainian military casualties exceeded 12,000 during Kiev's five-day counteroffensive, Russiaâs Defense Ministry has claimed.
More than 4,000 Ukrainian troops were killed and another 8,000 injured between September 6 and 10 in the south and east of the country, ministry spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said during a daily briefing on Sunday.
According to the official, Russian forces conducted âprecision strikesâ with missiles and artillery targeting pro-Kiev units in Kharkov region, from where Russian troops retreated earlier as part of what Moscow described as âredeployment.â
Russia said its military has destroyed, among other things, numerous command posts and shot down a helicopter over the past few days.
The Defense Ministry also accused Ukrainian troops of having shelled the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant 26 times since September 1. The Russia-controlled facility located in Ukraineâs southern Zaporozhye region was seized by Russian forces in early March, soon after Moscow launched its military operation.
On Sunday, the last working reactor at the plant was switched off. According to a member of the regionâs pro-Russian administration, the decision was made due to continued shelling of the plant by Ukraine and damage to the power lines. The constantly changing modes in which the reactors and turbines were forced to operate, because of the attacks, created the risk of an accident, Vladimir Rogov told RIA-Novosti.
Kiev and Moscow have been accusing each other of targeting the power plant and risking a nuclear disaster for months now.
In its Sunday briefing, the Russian Defense Ministry also alleged that the Ukrainian military was deliberately striking âenergy infrastructure on liberated territories,â including in the Donetsk Peopleâs Republic.

Washington Post report on the âcounter-offensiveâ attempt comes ahead of a weapons suppliers meeting in Germany
As Kiev has banned journalists from the frontlines of the âoffensiveâ in Kherson Region, the Washington Post sent a reporter to a hospital in the rear area, where wounded Ukrainian soldiers told a harrowing tale of fighting against the odds. Wednesdayâs piece about plucky underdogs who just need more weapons, ammunition, and equipment appeared just ahead of a US-led meeting of Ukraineâs arms suppliers in Ramstein, Germany.
Soldiers with âsevered limbs, shrapnel wounds, mangled hands and shattered jointsâ told the Post about the âlopsided disadvantagesâ the Ukrainian army faces on the Kherson front. The Russians have more and better artillery, drones that can fly with impunity a kilometer high, and counter-battery radars that can call fire on Ukrainiansâ heads within minutes, according to the US outlet.Â
Russian troops even hack and hijack Ukrainian drones, which âdrift away helplessly behind enemy lines,â the paper said.
âWe lost five people for every one they did,â Igor, a 30-year-old platoon leader with a back injury, told the Post.
âWhen we turn on mobile phones or radio, they can recognize our presence immediately,â another soldier named Denis said. âAnd then the shooting starts.â
âThey were just hitting us all the time,â said Aleksandr, who had lost an arm in the fighting. âIf we fire three mortars, they fire 20 in return.â
After months of talking up a counter-offensive to retake Kherson and even Crimea, Kiev launched an attack last week. The Russian military estimates more than 15,000 Ukrainian troops are involved in the operation, but have already taken thousands of casualties. On Wednesday, Ukrainian troops âmade no offensive actionsâ on that front due to losses, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a briefing.Â
While Kiev claims it has taken several villages, its claims could not be verified because journalists have been banned from the front. According to the Post, some of its reporters came within five kilometers of Visokopolye on Monday, but were stopped by Ukrainian troops and âcould not ascertain its status.â
Kiev is âhoping that the Kherson counteroffensive will boost national morale and demonstrate to Western governments that their billions of dollars in economic and military assistance is paying off,â the Post said.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin flew to Germany on Wednesday, in preparation for the meeting of the âUkraine Contact Groupâ â a coalition of countries that pledged weapons, ammunition and other support to Kiev â at Ramstein on Thursday.
