Ukrainian forces have lost about 120 servicemen on the Krasny Liman axis over the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
“On the Krasny Liman axis, “Center” task force warplanes, artillery and troops inflicted damage on enemy manpower and equipment in the areas of Nevskoye and Chervonaya Dibrova in the Lugansk People’s Republic,” the report said. ”Ukrainian army losses on this axis over the past 24 hours amounted up to 125 servicemen, four armored combat vehicles, three pickups and one “Gvozdika” self-propelled howitzer.”
The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. The peace talks that began soon thereafter failed to reach tangible results due to Kiev’s position to settle the conflict by force.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation to protect Donbass residents from Ukrainian aggression on February 24, 2022. Prior to that, LPR and DPR Heads Leonid Pasechnik and Denis Pushilin asked the Russian leader to provide military assistance.
The Lugansk People’s Republic acceded to Russia on September 30, 2022 following the unification referendum.*i*v
