Two Ukrainian combat helicopters were on Thursday shot down by the Russian military.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, in an alleged effort to degrade the military capability of its Southern neighbour and root out people it called dangerous nationalists.
Defence Ministry spokesperson, said Igor Konashenkov, the Russian forces fired on 81 military targets on Thursday, with Moscow intensifying its attacks on Ukraine.
On Thursday, the military reported the targeting of 29 objects the day before.
Konashenkov said aside the Mi-8 and Mi-24 combat helicopters, the targets hit on Thursday included Ukrainian military command posts and bases, as well as heavy artillery and rocket launchers in the Donbas.
In addition, Russia’s Black Sea Fleet had destroyed a training camp for “foreign mercenaries” near Odessa, he said.
