[Putin: Russian troops are advancing along the line of contact] On August 1, local time, Russian President Putin stated that the Russian army is advancing along the line of contact and that the Russian army had completely controlled the important town of Chasov Yar in the Donetsk region a few days ago. Putin said that the Ukrainian leadership was not aware of the situation on the front line, so they denied the news that the Russian army had controlled Chasov Yar. Putin also said that the first batch of mass-produced models of Russia's latest hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile "Hazel" has been completed and delivered to the troops. In November 2024, after Ukraine used US and British missiles to attack Russian territory, Russia launched the "Hazel" hypersonic ballistic missile at Ukraine. Russia said that the missile can attack targets at a speed of Mach 10. (CCTV News)
