Russian troops participating in a special operation in Ukraine have taken active actions in the Donetsk and Krasnoliman directions over the past day, the Russian Defense Ministry said in its daily report.
In the Donetsk direction, units of the “Southern” group of troops, with the support of artillery, attacked the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of Krasny, Semenovka and Pervomaisky in the DPR, destroying more than 135 Ukrainian servicemen, two D-20 howitzers, Msta-B and D-1 howitzers.
In the Krasnolimansky direction, the Ministry of Defense noted, attacks were carried out on the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of the settlements of Nevskoye, Chervonaya Dibrova in the LPR and Torskoye in the DPR. As a result, the loss of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to 115 people, three armored combat vehicles and one Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer.
In the Kupyansk, Kherson, Yuzhnodonetsk and Zaporozhye directions, the Russian Armed Forces continued to strike with artillery and aircraft. A MiG-29 aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force was shot down in the sky over Volnyansk in the Zaporozhye region, and an ammunition depot of the 110th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed near Vozdvizhenka in the DPR.
The Ministry of Defense today also reported about inflicting a massive strike on objects on the territory of Ukraine in response to an attack by Ukrainian saboteurs on the Bryansk region on March 2.
Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in February exceeded 11,000 people, which is 40% more than a month earlier. According to the minister, Kyiv does not take into account the losses “for the sake of Western curators.” Shoigu also commented on the ongoing fighting near Artemovsk (Ukrainian name – Bakhmut). According to him, taking this city under control will make it possible to conduct an offensive deep into the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
