14 occupier concentration areas and an electronic warfare station were hit, and a Merlin drone was also shot down.
Since the beginning of this day, the Ukrainian military has repelled more than 50 attacks by Russian aggressors in directions and delivered 15 strikes against them. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the evening summary on Monday, April 17.
Thus, the aircraft of the Defense Forces hit 12 times the concentration areas of the invaders. An enemy Merlin-type reconnaissance UAV was also shot down. And missile and artillery troops hit two areas of enemy manpower concentration, as well as an enemy electronic warfare (EW) station.
In turn, the enemy launched 34 air strikes and made 31 shellings from the MLRS. The Russians attacked the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of Kupyansky, Limansky, Bakhmutsky, Avdeevsky and Maryinsky.
“During the day, our defenders repelled more than 50 enemy attacks in the indicated sectors of the front. Bakhmut and Maryinka remained at the center of the battle,” the report said.
At the same time, the enemy continued to conduct defensive operations in the direction of Zaporozhye and Kherson.
Recall that now the president of the aggressor country, Russia, Putin again spoke cynically about Ukraine, calling it an “obvious priority” for the Russian army.
During the war, more than 182,000 Russian occupiers died in the “priority direction”. In just one day on April 16, almost 600 Russians were “minus”.
