The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Igor Konashenkov, spoke about the course of the special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine.
“Over the past day, bomber and attack aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed 158 military facilities on the territory of Ukraine. March 7 high-precision long-range weapons put out of action the airfield of the air force of Ukraine Ozernoe near Zhytomyr. Fighter aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces shot down two MiG-29s and one Su-27 of the Ukrainian Air Force in the air,” Konashenkov said.
According to him, 2 Ukrainian divisions of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, 3 Buk M-1 self-propelled firing systems, 4 command posts, 2 radar stations, 9 ammunition depots and 11 areas of concentration of weapons and military equipment were put out of action.
Recall that on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the decision to launch a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine to protect people who “for eight years have been subjected to bullying, genocide by the Kiev regime.” The Russian leader stressed that Moscow has no bad intentions towards neighboring countries and all actions of the Russian Federation arise solely in response to unfriendly measures against it.
