Russia's air defense forces destroyed 21 Ukrainian drones last night over the territories of Crimea, Belgorod, Bryansk, Kaluga and Tula regions. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense, specifying that 11 UAVs were destroyed and intercepted over Crimea, five over Belgorod, three over Bryansk, one over the Kaluga region and another over Tula.
The war in Ukraine, almost 2 years after the start of the conflict, seems to have entered a new phase after weeks of stalemate. The news provided by Kiev on war operations describe an evolving picture, with Moscow's forces in action along the entire line of contact. The fighting has become more intense, particularly in the northeast, on the border between the Kharkhiv region and Luhansk.
Ukraine has announced that it has decided on the strategic retreat of units from the village of Krokhmalne to fall back to more advantageous positions. At least 13 Russian attacks have been reported in the area. “The enemy is carrying out a large number of artillery attacks and trying to advance,” a spokesman for the Ukrainian Ground Forces Command said on state TV.
Russian pressure appears to be increasing after a long period of stalemate, following the Ukrainian counteroffensive which did not produce the desired results during 2023.
