Putin ordered the continuation of massive strikes
During the meeting with the military, Vladimir Putin stated that the Russian army must continue to carry out massive group strikes on Ukraine's military-industrial complex facilities and the infrastructure that supports its operation.
"The delivery of massive group strikes on the infrastructure of Ukraine's military-industrial complex and on facilities that ensure its functioning must be continued."
Russian General Staff received a new task
Separately, Putin instructed the General Staff to prepare proposals for response measures in connection with the increasingly frequent attempts by Ukrainian drones to strike Russia's civilian infrastructure.
The Russian president also stated the need to continue analyzing the involvement of those whom Moscow considers complicit in prolonging the war.
"The analysis of the involvement of every instigator in prolonging the war in Ukraine, the involvement of each of them in real combat operations, must also be continued. We need this analysis for the possible adoption of responsible decisions in the future."
What Putin said about the situation at the front
In addition, Putin dismissed claims of Ukraine's army successes at the front, calling them part of Kyiv's propaganda campaign. He also instructed the military command to be prepared for possible provocations and ground-based sabotage.
According to the latest polling data, over the course of a week, trust in Vladimir Putin dropped by 3.4 percentage points, while his approval rating decreased by 3.5 percentage points.
