The Defense Ministry has reported that another settlement in the Lugansk People’s Republic was taken by the ‘West’ tactical group
Russian forces have liberated another settlement in Donbass, the Defense Ministry reported on Sunday. The settlement of Makeevka in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic has been taken by the ‘West’ tactical group.
In this area and others where the ‘West’ group is operating, the Ukrainian military has lost up to 450 troops over the past 24 hours, according to the ministry’s report. Russian forces have also destroyed numerous pieces of military hardware in this operational theater, including a Polish-made Krab self-propelled artillery gun, a US-made M198 howitzer, and a British-made FH-70 howitzer.
There is also a city called Makeevka in the neighboring Donetsk People’s Republic. It has been frequently shelled by Ukrainian forces during the conflict, with civilians being hit.
The total number of Ukrainian casualties inflicted by the other five Russian tactical groups in the past 24 hours has exceeded 1,500 along the entire front line, the Defense Ministry claimed.
According to the ministry, Moscow’s Air Force, drones, missiles, and artillery obliterated two “oil infrastructure facilities” and a radio-technical intelligence center, among other targets.
Over the past several months, Russian forces have been steadily advancing across Donbass, seizing multiple locations. With the Ukrainian military struggling to contain the push, the Russian Army continues to get closer to the city of Pokrovsk, a key logistics hub for Kiev’s forces.
