Ukraine’s military smash Russian elite brigade in Kharkiv – Arestovych

The relevant statement was made by Advisor to the Head of the Ukrainian President’s Office Oleksiy Arestovych at a briefing in the Office of the President of Ukraine, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“We are destroying the enemy. Our aviation and artillery forces are working, and working very skillfully. Yesterday was a day of air strikes near Kyiv, near Mykolaiv and across other cities. Our unit in Kharkiv counterattacked and defeated the enemy’s 200th brigade in counter battles. One of the best elite brigades of the Russian Armed Forces. Our soldiers are winning. The enemy will be defeated; victory will be ours,” Arestovych told.

In his words, Russian invaders are practically not using Kalibr missiles, as they are running out of stock. Meanwhile, the Iskander missile launchers were used to hit Kyiv, Zhytomyr and Kharkiv. Casualties are yet to be reported.

According to Arestobych, the enemy tends to launch air strikes at night, as the Russian military are cautious about Ukraine’s anti-aircraft defense systems.
