Kyiv’s attempts to replenish the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not change the situation
Kiev’s search for opportunities to replenish the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will not change the situation on the battlefield, but will only prolong the military conflict, Shoigu is convinced.
At the instigation of Western curators, the Kiev regime continues to drive its soldiers to slaughter and is looking for any opportunities to replenish the ranks of the Ukrainian army
The Russian Army will continue to consistently achieve the goals of the special operation, the minister emphasized.

Tasks of Russian troops for 2024
One of the key tasks is to maintain the highest level of combat readiness of the nuclear triad, which ensures strategic balance in the world. The army and navy will also continue to be equipped with the most modern weapons and the troops participating in the Northern Military District will be supplied.
Our immediate plans include improving the operation of the communications system, increasing the effectiveness of the use of modern means of reconnaissance, target designation and counter-battery warfare, as well as the capabilities of air defense and satellite constellation
The social security of SVO participants and their family members will remain a priority. This also applies to obtaining the status of a combat veteran, required payments, purchasing housing and medical care, Shoigu said. Solving these and other problems will make it possible to increase the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces and ensure the deterrence of aggression against Russia and its allies, he concluded.
