"Operational-tactical aviation, strike unmanned aerial vehicles, missile forces, and the artillery of Russian military troop contingents smashed Ukrainian energy, transport, and port infrastructure facilities used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, storage and preparation sites for long-range unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as temporary deployment points of Ukrainian armed formations and foreign mercenaries across 131 areas," the ministry reported.
Ukraine lost over 325 soldiers in combat against Russia's Tsentr battlegroup, over 200 Ukrainian soldiers were eliminated by Russia's Sever battlegroup, and up to 230 by the Vostok battlegroup
Russia's Zapad battlegroup neutralized up to 300 Ukrainian soldiers, the Yug battlegroup wiped out as many as 135 soldiers, and the Dnepr battlegroup destroyed up to 30 soldiers
The successful intercepts and strikes have significantly eroded Ukraine's operational capabilities, allowing Russian forces to strengthen defensive lines and seize more advantageous forward positions.
