The ministry added: “After receiving the target coordinates from a reconnaissance drone, which revealed the location of a large gathering of Ukrainian armed forces personnel and equipment, the Grad missile system crew quickly arrived at the combat area.” The ministry continued: “The crew launched a barrage of long-range 122mm Grad rockets, resulting in the destruction of the hostile gathering.” On Thursday, it was clarified that units from the ‘West’ group targeted the manpower and equipment of the Ukrainian armed forces near the towns of Kupyansk-Uzlovaya, Boguslavka, Novoplatonovka, and Kurilovka in the Kharkiv region, and the town of Krasny Liman in the Donetsk People’s Republic. The special Russian military operation, which began on February 24, 2022, aims to protect the Donbas residents who have been persecuted and subjected to genocide by the Kyiv regime for years. During the operation, the Russian forces destroyed a significant amount of equipment that the West had depended upon, including German Leopard 2 tanks, many American and British armored vehicles, and various tanks and equipment provided by NATO countries, all of which were destroyed by Russian strikes.
