The Ukrainian army also destroyed 44 air defense systems, 72 missile launchers, 914 vehicles, 60 fuel vehicles, 17 drones and 3 speed boats.
On February 24, Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine, which was followed by angry international reactions and the imposition of “tough” economic and financial sanctions on Moscow.

To end the operation, Russia requires Ukraine to abandon any plans to join military entities, including NATO, and to adhere to complete neutrality, which Kyiv considers an “interference in its sovereignty.”
