There are no casualties among soldiers from the Freedom of Russia Legion, and we are working according to plan. Keep those fairy tales about minefields for Konashenkov [head of the Mass Communications Department of the Russian MoD – ed.]. We continue to clean our house of Putin's filth.
The battle is going on, all the details later."
