Russian President Vladimir Putin met on various issues, including the progress of Russia's campaign in Ukraine. The meeting of the Security Council of Russia was held on Thursday, local time. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying by Russian media Sputnik.
The meeting was attended by top leaders including Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
Dmitry Peskov said that yesterday's meeting focused on the current economic situation in Russia. At the time, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu briefed the audience on the progress of the special military operation in Ukraine.
He also spoke about the Russian military's efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, to ensure security and to rebuild important infrastructure in Russian-occupied territories.
The meeting also discussed Western sanctions on Russia, Peskov said. He said officials present at the meeting expressed frustration that Ukraine was delaying its active participation in the dialogue with Russia to resolve the crisis.
Meanwhile, a month has passed since the start of Russia's campaign in Ukraine. Russian troops are battling Ukrainian forces in various parts of the country. In the meantime, the delegations of the two countries sat in talks at several points. However, no progress has been made in resolving the crisis.
The way the young generation of the country is watching the aggression of Russia
Russia launched a full-scale military operation in Ukraine on February 24. The campaign began at the behest of President Vladimir Putin. In response, the West has imposed more than 3,000 blockades on the country, including Putin and his close associates. These blockades are largely financial. This has hit the Russian economy a bit. On the other hand, even on the battlefield, they are far from the desired goal. Initially, it was thought that the fall of Kiev would be as easy as possible, but it did not happen.
So far no progress has been made in stopping the war. Russia accuses Ukraine of not taking steps to end US-led war Ukraine is again blaming the Russian president.
That being said, the survey found that most Russians are pro-Russian. But there are doubts about the credibility of the survey. Russia, in particular, has made the use of the word "war" a crime. Qatar-based Al Jazeera interviewed five people to find out how the younger generation of Russia views the aggression. Everyone's pseudonym has been used for security reasons. "I'm fine, but the whole situation is very complicated," said Anna, 22, from Moscow. All my friends are shocked. None of us want this war. We are against the actions of President Vladimir Putin. But we do not have the right to express this position. Arrested, detained or fined for protesting. And now, if he speaks against the war, he can be sentenced to 15 years in prison. Many of my friends are leaving the country now, I understand their condition. Russian authorities have called Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) extremists. These platforms will no longer operate in Russia. But I think these can be used through VPN. However, I have deleted the chat history on social media. Because, the police searches the public transport and wants to see what is on the mobile phone. Police recently searched the home of a close friend of mine. He was placed under house arrest for two months for posting anti-war posters. Although the matter is now under investigation. The whole situation is certainly terrible.
Another reason why the situation is getting worse is that people of the previous generation are drowning in propaganda. They believe that what Putin is doing is right. This is a non-creation. I have already lost contact with my father and grandfather. But now I am quite optimistic. The whole world understands that the Russian people do not like this war. This war is started by a president who lives in an unrealistic world of his own making. If there were no imprisonment for speaking out against the war, I would try to unite people like me. With their help, I would do my best for the peaceful future of the country.
