“We are convinced that soon the Donetsk People’s Republic will be completely cleared of neo-Nazis by the allied forces,” she said.

According to Zakharova, Luhansk and other settlements of the Lugansk People's Republic are more secure after the liberation of the territory of the LPR from Ukrainian militants.

On July 3, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Vladimir Putin on the liberation of the Luhansk People's Republic.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in an interview with RT and RIA Novosti, noted that the geographical objectives of the special military operation in Ukraine have changed.

He added that as the West pumps more and more long-range weapons into Ukraine, such as HIMARS, the geographical objectives of the special operation will move even further from the current line.
