Both Moscow and Kyiv have reported further successes in the war in Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday that attacks on Ukraine’s military infrastructure continued. “High-precision weapons” were used against secret service facilities in Kyiv. The hardware transmission of the television tower is now deactivated.
Since the invasion began last Thursday, Russian troops say they have destroyed more than 1,500 Ukrainian military objects, including a total of 58 aircraft on the ground and in the air, and more than 470 tanks and other armored vehicles. Neither Moscow nor Kyiv gave any information about their own losses. The reports cannot be independently verified.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said more than 200 tanks, 860 other military vehicles, 30 airplanes and 31 helicopters had been destroyed since the war began. The ministry accused Russia of serious war crimes. “Aircraft and rocket attacks from Russia and Belarus on civilian buildings and schools, shelling of maternity wards. This is cowardly behavior by those who have no honor,” it said. “These are not military, but terrorists, representatives of a terrorist state.” Moscow vehemently denies attacking civilians and residential areas.
