Russia's war against Ukraine will continue. It will continue until the "full implementation of the tasks" set by Putin.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said this, Russian Interfax reported.

"The special military operation will continue until the full fulfillment of the tasks set by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief," he said.

Putin has been preparing for war with Ukraine for at least a year. Therefore, the Russian president will be able to wage war "for a long time."
