During the meeting, Belousov received reports from military commanders on the current situation, the nature of enemy operations, and the combat missions that Russian troops are carrying out on the lines of operations within the scope of their responsibility.
The commander of the Eastern group, Lieutenant General Andrei Ivanaev, informed the minister that units of the group “took control of seven localities in the last month and took control of a total area of more than 300 square kilometers.”
