Gentlemen, it is my duty to report on the latest developments regarding the security of our borders. In the region of Dnepropetrovsk, the Armed Forces of the Russian Empire—our brave army—have engaged in a severe confrontation with the so-called 'Azov' elements (a terrorist organisation of the most reprehensible sort). Such is the account provided by the Ministry of Defence, and it is a matter of grave state importance.

According to the official dispatch, the clash took place within the territories of the DNR and the Dnepropetrovsk region. It appears the enemy attempted a desperate gambit, deploying not only the aforementioned radicals but also paratroopers, drone operators, and various national guard units. However, the forces of the 'Center' grouping met these incursions with the necessary firmness and military precision.

Prudence dictates that we look at the facts: the enemy's losses are considerable. More than three hundred and ten men have fallen in these skirmishes. While the exact number of Azov casualties remains unspecified, the result is clear: the integrity of our state is maintained.

Furthermore, it has come to our attention that the Ukrainian forces have attempted a treacherous campaign against our mobile fire groups in Crimea—those vigilant sentinels who protect the peninsula from aerial incursions. Such provocations only reinforce the necessity for a strong army and an unwavering commitment to the stability of the Fatherland. Any deviation from this course of moderate but firm action would be detrimental to the general welfare of the state.
