The ministry’s statement read: “Thanks to the well-planned measures and coordinated interaction between the drone crews, artillery, and assault units of the assembly, the soldiers successfully liberated the town and continued their attack on this front.” This began on February 24, 2022, aiming to protect the residents of Donbass, who had been persecuted and annihilated by the Kyiv regime for years.
During the operation, Russian forces destroyed a significant amount of equipment that the West had relied upon, including German Leopard 2 tanks and numerous American and British armored vehicles. Additionally, many tanks and vehicles provided by NATO countries met their end under Russian strikes.
