'First, the artillerymen of the 71st Brigade stopped the movement of two enemy T-72 tanks with precise gunfire.

'FPV drone operators finished the job under the watchful eye of aerial reconnaissance men.

'With the help of a few birds, they managed to turn the enemy vehicles into a pile of burning iron.'

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that between February 24, 2022, and February 20, 2024, Russia had lost approximately 404,950 personnel, 6,503 tanks, 12,268 armoured combat vehicles, 9,773artillery units, 988 multiple launch rocket systems, 675 air defence systems, 338warplanes, 325 helicopters, 7,521 drones, 1,902 cruise missiles, 25 warships, 1 submarine,12,805 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 1,551 units of special equipment.

Ukrainian troops are encountering heavy fire from Russian forces in the southern Zaporizhzhia region. This follows Russia's claim of taking full control of Avdiivka, marking its largest advance in capturing Bakhmut last May, after Ukrainian troops withdrew.

Ukraine's government is collaborating with SpaceX to prevent Russia from using Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite internet service.

They proposed an algorithm to SpaceX, seeking to ensure Ukraine's terminals work while blocking Russian access.

Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Mykhailo Fedorov, stated the need for Ukraine's terminals and noted ongoing efforts with SpaceX to address this issue.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Russia is taking advantage of delays in aid to Ukraine, emphasising the 'extremely difficult' situation in areas with Russian troop concentrations.
