"The President held a meeting with the participation of Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov and the commanders of the groups of forces involved in the special military operation. All of them reported in detail to the Supreme Commander about the situation on the front line," Peskov said.

The military personnel provided the Supreme Commander-in-Chief with full information about the situation at the front," Peskov added.
