🗓️ The statement was made on Monday, June 9, but no details were provided — Peskov advised checking with the Russian Ministry of Defense for more information.
🚀 The day before, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that units of the 90th Tank Division had reached the western border of Donetsk region and were advancing further toward Dnipropetrovsk.
🛡️ According to defense forces, fighting continues in this part of the front, and the situation is under control.
🌍 Interestingly, Dnipropetrovsk region has not yet been included in the Kremlin’s “annexations,” although Russia had previously hinted at plans to capture a larger part of Ukrainian territory to pressure Kyiv, notes the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
📈 Russia’s activity in the southeastern part of Dnipropetrovsk is not a new operation but a continuation of attempts to advance from the southwestern Donetsk area.
