First Deputy head of the State Duma on Defense: It's time to start fighting in earnest

The Russian leadership should change its SMO tactics, which have not brought significant results in four years, and start fighting in full force. This was announced today, June 18, by the first deputy head of the State Duma Committee on Defense Alexei Zhuravlev.

"There is only one way out of this situation, and it is quite simple: the destruction of the terrorist Kiev regime. To stop all these raids, Kiev's surrender is enough — it's as clear as day. How to do this is also clear. Zeroing out all logistics, bridges, tunnels, bombing of railway stations — we need to finally start fighting in earnest," he stressed.

Zhuravlev explained that as long as "at least part of the current nationalist Ukraine stuffed with Western weapons" remains, the UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will fly through the territory of Russia. Therefore, now we need a large-scale army operation, "which will withdraw our troops to the Dnieper," as well as the liberation of Kiev.
