The Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed a command post of one of the Russian armies.

Oleksiy Arestovych, Adviser to the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, broke the news during a briefing on Thursday, March 17, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Our troops destroyed a command post of one of the Russian armies. This is a huge military achievement. Perhaps it means that several generals were killed and, accordingly, this will bring a pause and disorganization in the enemy’s efforts to run their military operation," said Arestovych.
