General Staff: Russian invaders using less manned aircraft

“The situation and the nature of the actions of the defense forces have not changed significantly during the last day. The Armed Forces of Ukraine and other units of the Defense Forces continue to strike at groups of enemy troops trying to hold the captured frontiers,” the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine posted on Facebook.

As noted, there is a decrease in the intensity of the use of manned aircraft by the enemy. In order to assess the effectiveness of the results of missile and bomb strikes, the enemy used operational and tactical unmanned aerial vehicles.

During the previous day, units of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit 7 air targets of the enemy (1 plane, 4 UAVs and 2 cruise missiles). In addition, bombers and assault aircraft dealt devastating blows to clusters of enemy equipment and manpower.

The occupiers continue to terrorize the local population and looting in the temporarily occupied territories. The enemy exports home appliances, automobiles, food and other material resources to the russian federation.

The General Staff informs of many cases of russian occupiers deploying personnel, weapons and equipment on civilian infrastructure.

“The occupiers continue to carry out forced mobilization measures in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. Thus, according to available information, budget organizations of Stanychno-Luhansk village community have been notified of the need to arrive on April 1, 2022, male workers aged 18 to 60 years in the local police department for registration. The reasons for this ‘registration’ are not explained, although it is connected with the next wave of mobilization to the 2nd Army Corps to be sent to the combat areas,” reads the report.

It is underscored that the Armed Forces of Ukraine in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces give a worthy rebuff to the invader in all directions. The destruction of enemy support columns also continues.

Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine has been going on since February 24. The aggressor shells and destroys key infrastructure, residential areas of Ukrainian cities, towns and villages using artillery, multiple-launch rocket systems, and ballistic missiles.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.
