What happened

The special military operation in Ukraine has been the most serious test for Russia over the past 30 years, CEO of Kalashnikov Group Alan Lushnikov said in an interview with TASS Director General Andrey Kondrashov.

Why it matters

According to him, it is still too early to assess the results of the company’s work during the special military operation, as hostilities have not yet ended.

Common ground

"I think it’s too early to sum up (the results of this work - TASS), because we are still facing what is perhaps the most serious challenge our country has faced over the past 30 years.

Perspective signals

Claim 1: “The special military operation in Ukraine has been the most serious test for Russia over the past 30 years”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The claim is a subjective assessment/opinion stated by an individual (Alan Lushnikov) regarding the 'seriousness' of a test for Russia. While the evidence confirms the existence of the 'special military operation' and the conflict in Ukraine, the statement that it is the 'most serious test... over the past 30 years' is a value judgment and an opinion, which cannot be proven true or false by factual evidence.
