MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that military forces have successfully concluded operations to achieve the full liberation of the Lugansk People’s Republic. Speaking during a televised national address and military briefing, the Russian leader confirmed that units from the armed forces have secured uncontested control across the entirety of the regional territory.
The declaration marks a significant milestone in Moscow’s ongoing military campaign in eastern Ukraine, capping months of attritional warfare and strategic manoeuvre across the broader Donbas operational theatre.
The formal announcement follows repeated assessments from the Russian Ministry of Defence detailing incremental territorial advances by frontline combat formations.
