TSAMTO, December 6. On December 6, a conference call with the leadership of the Armed Forces was held at the National Defense Management Center of the Russian Federation under the leadership of the head of the military department, Army General Sergei Shoigu.
According to the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, among the main topics raised at the meeting were the construction and repair of ships by USC enterprises, the construction of BAM, the state of accidents in road transport and flight safety in military transport aviation.
Opening the meeting, the Minister of Defense informed the participants about the progress of the special military operation.
"The Russian Armed Forces continue to liberate Donbass. Recently, Mayorsk, Pavlovka, Opytne, Andreevka, Belogorovka Yuzhnaya and Kurdyumovka have come under our control," the head of the military department said.
Significant damage was caused to the manpower and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Luhansk-Donetsk and South-Donetsk directions.
Army General Sergei Shoigu said that in November the enemy's losses amounted to more than 8.3 thousand soldiers, 5 planes, 10 helicopters, 149 tanks and more than 300 armored fighting vehicles.
The Russian Armed Forces are carrying out massive strikes with high-precision long-range weapons against the military command system, enterprises of the military-industrial complex, as well as related facilities to crush the military potential of Ukraine.
"Our units are taking all measures to ensure the safety of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. In turn, the Kiev regime continues to purposefully fire at this facility," the Defense Minister said.
According to the head of the Russian military department, 33 large-caliber shells have been fired at the station from the AFU in the last two weeks alone. Russian air defense forces intercept most of the Ukrainian weapons of destruction. At the same time, some of them still affect objects that affect the safe operation of the nuclear power plant. We classify these attacks by Ukrainian troops as nuclear terrorism.
"The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will continue to protect critical facilities in the liberated territories," Sergei Shoigu stressed.
