Yesterday, Ukrainian special services eliminated Russian General Sarvarov in Moscow. Following this, Russian society began to mourn and officials accused Kyiv of committing a "terrorist act." The general, who had been involved in previous attacks on Ukrainians and was planning further operations, was killed in what Moscow calls a serious blow to the Russian armed forces.
While Ukrainian forces continue to take out Russian war criminals, the Russian army carries on with large-scale strikes against Ukraine, using missiles and drones. The main targets remain power infrastructure and residential areas; several civilians, including a child, were killed in the Zhytomyr region.
In response, Ukrainian drones launched a massive strike on the Stavrolen industrial facility in the Stavropol region of Russia—a plant hit for the second time recently. The facility produces components used by the Russian army, including drone parts.
Recently, Ukrainian forces have become more effective at downing Russian jets with interceptor drones, often purchased through public donations. The public is urged to continue supporting fundraising for drone-based air defense to safeguard Ukrainian skies.
Russian blogger Maksym Klimov attempted to calculate the actual losses of the Russian army using data provided by Vladimir Putin. He determined a discrepancy of about 1.5 million troops between official figures and present army strength, indicating severe losses.
Despite advances in drone warfare, Russia’s ground forces are degrading, as evidenced by a recent video of a failed cavalry assault repelled by Ukrainian drones. Due to a shortage of transport and armor, Russian troops have begun using horses and donkeys, even for assaults—showing a new level of desperation.
The article highlights how Russia's top leadership is increasingly isolated from reality, with systemic falsifications in reports and a dire crisis within the army. Despite this, Russian forces maintain their offensive, which is why continued Ukrainian support and technological upgrades, especially drones, are critical to resisting further attacks.
The need for Ukrainian army reforms and strategic operations targeting Russia’s energy and oil infrastructure is stressed. The article also expresses gratitude to the Serhiy Sternenko Foundation for donating interceptor drones to the front, underscoring the importance of collective effort, adaptation, and resilience for Ukraine’s victory.
