In a recent address, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu provided insights into the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, inadvertently making a blunder as he hinted that the ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine could extend until at least 2025.<\/p>\n
Shoigu attributed the extended timeline to what he described as “cynical actions by the West and their henchmen in Kyiv”, without specifying the nature of these actions.<\/p>\n

A far cry from Russia’s initial plan, as the Kremlin believed Russia would take Ukraine in just a few days after the invasion in February 2022.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
