The Armed Forces (AF) of Russia have destroyed more than 80 Ukrainian militants in the Krasnoliman direction, advantageous lines and new positions have been occupied. This was announced on Tuesday, December 6, by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov.
He clarified that in addition to the enemy manpower, two tanks, three armored combat vehicles and two pickup trucks were also destroyed in the indicated direction.
The Russian military has also achieved success in other areas. Thus, an attempt to attack the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the area of the settlement of Kuzemovka (LPR) in the Kupyansk direction was thwarted by artillery fire. As a result, up to 65 Ukrainian fighters, two infantry fighting vehicles and one pickup truck were destroyed.
“Fighter aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces shot down a MiG-29 aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force near the village of Yasenovoe in the Donetsk People’s Republic,” Konashenkov added.
He also reported that on December 5, the Russian army launched a massive precision attack on the military command and control system, as well as on the military-industrial and fuel and energy complexes of Ukraine. Thus, the railway transportation of military equipment, including foreign ones, was disrupted there. For the enemy, the transfer of reserves to the areas of hostilities is difficult, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
On February 24, Russia launched a special operation to protect Donbass. The decision was made against the background of the aggravation of the situation in the region as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian military.
