According to the Russian military, it used mass air and artillery strikes to destroy, among other things, western weapon systems that had been delivered to Ukraine. “Up to 200 Nationalists and 24 weapon systems were destroyed, including a battery of 155mm M777 howitzers, the 203mm 2S7 ‘Pion’ gun, a ‘Grad’ multiple rocket launcher and two ammunition depots,” the spokesman said of the Russian Defense Ministry, Igor Konashenkov. According to media reports, Ukraine has received M777 howitzers from Australia and the USA.
According to Konashenkov, the kills were achieved by the rocket and artillery troops. He also listed the shelling of command posts, troop concentrations and military convoys by the Luftwaffe. In addition, the Russian air defense shot down a Su-25 fighter jet and a Mi-8 military helicopter in the Kharkiv area.
