Quote: "We cannot freeze anything. We are not a cooling chamber. We have to liberate our land in spite of weather or a season. We cannot miss a single stop, because our people are there, and we see how they are suffering…
The task from the President is to liberate all our territories from terrorists and occupiers."
Details: Danilov said that "the last seven or eight meetings of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief were dedicated to the Kherson front", which can be revealed now.
He has also mentioned that the Russians planted mines on the right bank of the Dnipro River: "We can confirm that enormous territories were mined. Moreover, we do not rule out that large fougasses [improvised mortars, constructed by making a hollow in the ground or rock and filling it with explosives and projectiles – ed.] were planted; therefore, the population should take it cautiously."
