Ukrainian army loses over 20 personnel on Kupyansk axis - Russian Defense Ministry

Society 
Ukrainian forces have lost more than 20 servicemen on the Kupyansk axis over the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
 
“On the Kupyansk axis, Western Military District artillery attacked manpower of the Ukrainian army’s 14th and 92nd Mechanized Brigades in the areas of Sinkovka and Timkovka in the Kharkov region and Novoselovskoye in the Lugansk People’s Republic, the report said. “More than 20 Ukrainian servicemen, one armored combat vehicle, one pickup truck and one D-20 howitzer were destroyed.”
 
 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.
 
On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation to protect Donbass residents from Ukrainian aggression. 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
