Russian President Vladimir Putin said that after the liberation of Konstantinovka, the Ukrainian side could carry out sabotage raids. He made the statement during a meeting.

According to the Russian leader, the enemy may resort to sabotage and terrorist actions in order to support its false claims and create the appearance of imaginary achievements. Putin stressed that Russia must take such a scenario into account and be prepared for it.

At the same time, the president noted that the Kiev regime’s boastful statements about successes that do not actually exist work in Russia’s favor.

On July 3, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reported that Putin had visited one of the command posts of the Joint Group of Forces. During the meeting, the president announced the full liberation of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), noted the advance of the Russian army in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), and thanked servicemen for their work in the SMO zone.

Putin also said it was necessary to do everything possible to evacuate civilians from Konstantinovka, whose liberation had been announced the day before.
