"The enemy will not be able to do anything supernatural with the forces that we have," says the head of the special forces. The Russian Defense Ministry has denied reports of a new offensive on the Zaporozhye front.
"We are together with Russia. We are not against each other," says Russian Defense Minister Anatolii Stepanov. "The enemy is not able to take us by surprise," adds Stepanivtsev, "and we are ready to defend ourselves."
