Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov confirmed that 51 Ukrainian military installations, including 4 command centers, were destroyed during the past 24 hours.
In a statement, the spokesman added that two missile launchers, two artillery batteries, 4 weapons depots, and 32 gathering sites for Ukrainian vehicles were targeted.
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict reached a new turning point on February 21, after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent republics of Ukraine, an escalatory step that drew great anger from Kyiv and its Western allies.
In the wake of this, the Russian forces began, at dawn on Thursday, February 24, to launch a military operation in eastern Ukraine, which opened the door to the possibility of the outbreak of a “third world war,” which would be the first in the twenty-first century.
