“We continue to deliver weapons and equipment early through loans. Our priority is long-range high-precision weapons, aircraft equipment and maintaining the readiness of the strategic nuclear forces,” he said.
The meeting was attended by a number of senior army officials, including Chief of General Staff General Valery Gerasimov, who also did not appear in public recently. Shoigu was spotted in a video of a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Russia's Security Council on Thursday, but he did not take the floor.
