60 Soldiers Eliminated

Before that, the Russian Armed Forces used FAB-3000 in the Kharkiv region. Also on June 21, the deployment point of the third battalion of the 13th separate special forces brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard was hit . Then 70 soldiers were eliminated.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict, ongoing since 2014, emerged from Russia's annexation of Crimea and subsequent support for separatist movements in eastern Ukraine. Tensions escalated into armed conflict, marked by battles in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
International condemnation and sanctions followed Russia's actions, while ceasefires and peace negotiations have seen intermittent progress amidst ongoing military engagements.
