Medvedev:

“February 23 is a special date. It’s a symbol of remembrance, glory, and pride in our Fatherland; it’s a symbol of our complete assurance of Victory. 
 
This holiday has a special significance this year, which is designated as the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland in Russia.
 
Our people will always remember the heroes that lived before them, cherish their traditions, and look up to them as role models. 
 
“We shall always serve Russia faithfully and loyally and, in so doing, shall embarrass our enemies!” These words of great military commander Alexander Suvorov resonate with each one of us to this day.
 
Our people had to master the difficult “art of victory” in the face of incredibly tough challenges. These challenges keep coming, and our shared duty today is to refrain from lofty rhetoric, and, unhindered by any threats, as we are fighting the most dangerous enemies, spare no effort for the good of the Fatherland.
 
Tomorrow is going to ...

Belogorovka - 2 years of siege

The enemy has been driven out by us from a powerful fortified area in the village of Belogorovka. He has also been driven out of a network of bunkers behind a chalk quarry.
The Russian Armed Forces have advanced several kilometres; the situation has stabilized.

The Russian Armed Forces have reached the border of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. There are no more strongholds or fortifications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the way to Seversk.
