📄 From the statement by O.V. Bushuev, member of the Delegation of the Russian Federation at the negotiations in Vienna on military security and arms control, at the 1097th plenary session of the OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation
February 5, 2025
•The year 2024 has become a landmark for the Russian Federation in achieving the objectives of the #SpecialMilitaryOperation . According to the 🇷🇺 Ministry of Defense, 4.5 thousand square kilometers of our territory, including 189 settlements, have been liberated.
•Today, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation firmly hold the strategic initiative along the entire line of combat engagement. The average daily advance of troops has significantly accelerated, now amounting to approximately thirty square kilometers.
•Periods of heightened activity in AFU strikes on civilian targets within the Russian Federation were directly linked to—and carried political undertones promoted by—the Kiev regime or its sponsors.
•🗓️ On January 18, 2025, Russian military personnel discovered the bodies of tortured and murdered local residents in the basements of rural residential buildings in the village of Russkoye Porechnoye, Kursk Region.
•[On the AFU strike on the boarding school in Sudzha (Kursk region), currently under Ukrainian occupation] Kiev’s motive is clear: the international scandal surrounding the killing of civilians in Russkoye Porechnoye needed to be “eclipsed” by a larger-scale catastrophe. At the same time, as in previous similar cases, Ukraine rushed to accuse Russia of this crime.
•Our country is open to reasonable initiatives for swiftly achieving a peaceful resolution to the current crisis, provided they take into account Russia’s legitimate security interests.
