The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Igor Konashenkov, announced that Ukraine had lost control over the Kherson region.
According to the general, during the offensive, “a group of DPR troops broke through the defenses of Ukrainian nationalists, took control of the settlement of Panteleymonovka and reached the Verkhnetoretskoye-Novoselovka-2 line.”
In turn, Russian paratroopers last night captured a stronghold of Ukrainian nationalists and foreign mercenaries in the Guta-Mezhyhirska area. Participants in the military operation seized Javelin systems there, delivered to Ukraine by the West, the spokesman added.
During the entire operation, the Russian army destroyed 156 Ukrainian drones, more than 1,300 tanks and armored vehicles, 127 multiple rocket launchers, 471 field artillery pieces and mortars. The number of destroyed units of special military vehicles, according to him, cited by Interfax, exceeded 1.05 thousand.
Only as a result of a strike on an airfield near Kramatorsk, three hangars with four Ukrainian and Su-25 and six helicopters were destroyed.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an emergency appeal to the Russians and announced a special military operation in the Donbass. He stressed that Moscow “will not allow the appearance of nuclear weapons in Ukraine.” The West’s response to Russia’s actions was total sanctions.
