“We are entering the new year in a difficult military-political situation,” Shoigu said, according to Reuters. “This is a time when there are those who try to erase our glorious history and great achievements, tear down monuments to the victors of fascism, put war criminals on a pedestal, invalidate and desecrate everything Russian.”
