A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While GlobalSecurity.org takes utmost care to accurately report this news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.
On 24 February 2022, Ukraine was suddenly and deliberately attacked by land, naval and air forces of Russia, igniting the largest European war since the Great Patriotic War. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" (SVO - spetsialnaya voennaya operatsiya) in Ukraine in response to the appeal of the leaders of the "Donbass republics" for help. That attack is a blatant violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Putin stressed that Moscow's goal is the demilitarization and denazification of the country. The military buildup in preceeding months makes it obvious that the unprovoked and dastardly Russian attack was deliberately planned long in advance. During the intervening time, the Russian government had deliberately sought to deceive the world by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
"To initiate a war of aggression... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." [Judgment of the International Military Tribunal]
The UK Ministry of Defence reported that before the invasion of Ukraine, Russia had attempted to build a modern, professional force capable of carrying out complex operations. After 1,000 days of the conflict Russia's land forces are radically different to the force that originally invaded Ukraine.
Russia's personnel losses of over 700,000 killed and wounded have drastically undermined Russia's force quality. Most personnel currently serving in the Russian military have received minimal training, and Russian commanders use basic tactics to make advances, despite the associated high casualty rates.
Russia has lost at least 3,500 main battle tanks and 7,500 armoured vehicles. Large stockpiles of tanks and armoured vehicles, a legacy of the Soviet Union, have been the only means for Russia to be able to replenish these major losses.
Despite the costs imposed on its land forces, Russian territorial advances in Ukraine have accelerated through 2024. This has been underpinned by the Russian leadership's tolerance for casualties, and Russia's land forces' quantitative overmatch relative to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The frontline is now less stable than at any point since the opening stages of the conflict.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that in total, since the beginning of this day, there have been 174 combat encounters. Ukrainian defenders continue to decisively interrupt the attempts of the Russian enemy to advance into the depths of Ukrainian territory, giving him a fiery impression.
Russian zagarbniki caused on the territory of Ukraine four rockets (12 rockets) and 46 aviacíjnih (74 cab) strikes. In addition, more than 300 kamikaze drones were deployed for impact and carried out about three thousand shells on the positions of Ukrainian troops and settlements.
In the Kharkiv direction, the Russian opponent ten times stormed the positions of Ukrainian units in the area of vovchanska and starica. According to preliminary data, today's Russian losses to the direction totaled 52 soldiers killed and wounded, also Ukrainian defenders destroyed a tank, four armored vehicles, an anti-tank missile complex and damaged three Russian occupant cars.
