MOSCOW: Report of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the progress of the special military operation on the territory of Ukraine (26.06.2022)

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue a special military operation in Ukraine.

◽ On June 25, the cities of Severodonetsk and Borovskoye, the settlements of Voronovo and Sirotino passed under the control of the Lugansk People's Republic. About 108 thousand people live in the cities liberated from the Kyiv regime. The total area of ​​the liberated territory is about 145 square kilometers.

◽ The successes of the Russian army, the people's militias of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics significantly reduce the moral and psychological state of the personnel of the Ukrainian army. So, in the 30th mechanized brigade, deployed near Artemovsk, there are massive cases of drunkenness, drug use and unauthorized abandonment of combat positions.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to strike at military facilities on the territory of Ukraine.

💥 High-precision weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces and Kalibr missiles inflicted a massive strike on the territory of the 169th training center of the ground forces in the area of ​​​​the village of Desna, Chernihiv region, the 199th training center of airborne assault troops in the area of ​​Teterevka, Zhytomyr region, as well as the 184th training center of the armed forces of Ukraine in the Starichi district of the Lviv region. As a result of the strike, the combat capability of the 65th, 66th motorized infantry brigades and the 46th airmobile brigade from the strategic reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which completed training at these training grounds, completely lost their combat capability. Thus, the planned transfer of these formations to the combat zone was disrupted.

💥 Operational-tactical and army aviation, missile forces and artillery hit: manpower and military equipment in 286 districts, artillery and mortar units in 62 districts, two command posts in the Visunsk and Barmashovo districts of the Nikolaev region, four ammunition depots in areas of the settlements of Verkhnekamenka, Lisichansky and the western outskirts of Lisichansk of the Luhansk People's Republic.

💥 As part of the counter-battery combat, high-precision weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces in the Donetsk direction hit ten platoons of multiple launch rocket systems in the areas of Avdeevka, Ukrainsk, Ivanovka, Novoselovka Pervaya and Vozdvizhenka of the Donetsk People's Republic.

💥 More than 720 nationalists, 12 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 16 special vehicles were destroyed as a result of air strikes, rocket troops and artillery.

◽ The enemy once again made an unsuccessful attempt to strike with aircraft and multiple launch rocket systems on Zmeiny Island. As a result of repelling the attack, the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and gun system shot down a Su-25 aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force and 12 rockets. There were no casualties among the personnel of the garrison and no destruction.

💥 Russian air defense systems destroyed eight Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles in the areas of the settlements of Varvarovka, Rai-Aleksandrovka of the Lugansk People's Republic, Belyaevka of the Kherson region, Malaya Kamyshevakha and Malye Prohody of the Kharkiv region. Also, 19 multiple rocket launchers were shot down in the areas of the settlements of Suligovka, Glinskoye, Sukhaya Kamenka of the Kharkov region, Makeevka of the Donetsk People's Republic and over Zmeiny Island.

✈💥 In an air battle, a MiG-29 aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force was shot down near the village of Zelenodolsk, Dnepropetrovsk region.
