This was announced by the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov.

“The President of Russia had the opportunity to briefly inform his colleagues, including on the sidelines of this summit — they communicated in different formats — about what is happening in the context of a special military operation,” Peskov said.

Peskov also expressed confidence that the successful completion of the special military operation in Ukraine is beyond doubt.

Earlier, Putin said that the main goal of the special operation in Ukraine was to help the Donbass.

In October, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the tasks of the special operation in Ukraine did not change.
