20230506
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Ukrainian armed forces lost over 185 soldiers and mercenaries, as well as 12 units of military equipment in the Donetsk direction in the last 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday.
"In the last 24 hours, over 185 Ukrainian soldiers and mercenaries, one tank, four armored fighting vehicles, four cars, two D-20 howitzers and one D-30 howitzer were eliminated in this [Donetsk] direction," the ministry said.
Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022, after the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR, LPR) appealed for help in defending themselves against Ukrainian provocations. In response to Russia's operation, Western countries have rolled out a comprehensive sanctions campaign against Moscow and have been supplying weapons to Ukraine.
