Also, the invaders continue to insidiously use civilian infrastructure for firing positions, weapons and military equipment, “the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on Facebook.

According to the General Staff, artillery and aircraft fired on a cluster of military equipment and columns of Russian troops on the deployment routes.
“According to available information, according to the results of the artillery fire, 12 units of motor vehicles were destroyed. Battalions of tactical groups within the 336th Separate Marine Brigade and the 11th Separate Assault Brigade also suffered casualties. In the Black Sea and Azov operational zones, no signs of preparation for the naval landing operation were found, ”the General Staff concludes.
The Russian military invasion of Ukraine has been going on since the morning of February 24. Russian troops have carried out air strikes on key war sites and civilian infrastructure, destroying airfields, military units, oil depots, gas stations, churches, schools and hospitals. The shelling of residential areas is carried out using artillery, rocket-propelled grenades and ballistic missiles. Columns of armored vehicles of the Russian army are trying to see Kyiv and small regional centers near the Russian border.
Russia denies that it is waging a war of aggression against Ukraine on its territory and calls it a “special operation” aimed at “demilitarization and denazification.”
After the Russian attack, which began on February 24, martial law broke out in Ukraine and a general mobilization was announced. Western countries are imposing strong economic sanctions on Russia and continue to provide weapons to Ukraine. However, at the request of President Volodymyr Zelensky to establish a non-permanent zone over Ukraine, NATO refused.
A number of Western leaders and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg say the introduction of a field-free zone marks a direct conflict between NATO and Russia.
