Ukraine attacked Russian oil fields with dozens of drones while attempting a land incursion through proxies. Russia said it killed 234 fighters in response.
The Russian Defense Ministry blamed the Kyiv regime and Ukraine’s terrorist formations that were firm on Russian forces unable to eliminate the attack.
“Moscow’s military and security forces killed 234 fighters while thwarting the incursion,” the Ministry said.
Ukraine-based armed groups had launched cross-border raids in the western Belgorod and Kursk regions of Russia.
The Russian Defense Ministry pointed out that Ukrainian armed groups were equipped with tanks and armored combat vehicles to annex Russian land.
The Russians refused to accept that those attackers were Russian puppets mimicking an attack; however, the border was under attack.
