Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations said the country’s military is progressing according to plan in its so-called “special military operation” in Ukraine.
“The progress is being made, that’s clear,” Vasily Nebenzya, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, told the BBC in an interview broadcast Wednesday. “Nobody promised to deliver it in three or seven days, as some pundits are saying now.”
He claimed “the plan is developing according to the military plans that were initially envisaged — of course with minor tactical changes, because you cannot predict whatever happens on the front line.”
“You will see the liberation of all the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. That will hopefully take place soon,” he said.
Some context: More than three months into its bloody assault on Ukraine, Russia insists on referring to the Kremlin’s attack as a “special military operation,” effectively banning words such as invasion and war.
