The commander of the Land Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrski, said that the Russian army was weakening. Ukraine brought back 12 civilians and soldiers who had been held captive. Meanwhile, in Sochi, another air defense system was installed near Putin's residence. The most important news from the 404th day of war.
During a working trip to the Chernihiv region, Volodymyr Zelensky said that before the occupation, about 400 people lived in the village of Yagodnik. 370 of them passed through the cellars of the local school (with an area of 200 square meters), which the Russians turned into a torture chamber. There were also infants among the prisoners. 11 people died.
"I can only add one thing: after seeing all this, I wish the Russian president to spend the rest of his days in the basement and with a bucket instead of a toilet," Zelensky said.
The commander of the Land Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrski, met with the defenders of Bakhmut and dispelled the myth of Russian propagandists about the capture of the city. “The enemy is weakening and trying to hide his failures with more and more fake news about the capture of Bakhmut. But the truth is that the successful work of the Ukrainian Armed Forces calls into question all the efforts of Russian propagandists. We will defeat them. Because this is our land. And Bakhmut is Ukraine,” he said Syriac.
Alexei Navalny's team reported that the Pancyr-S1 anti-aircraft artillery and missile system was installed in Krasnaya Polyana in Sochi, where Putin's secret residence is located.
A kilometer from the anti-missile installation there is a complex of buildings on 20 hectares of land with a helipad and its own lift with VIP cabins.
Ukraine brought back 10 soldiers and two civilians who were in Russian captivity. Among them, five are seriously injured, the coordination staff said. The soldiers were captured in the vicinity of Bakhmut, the villages of Opytne and Orihovo-Vasylivka in the Donetsk region, as well as near Kreminna and Chervonopopivka in the Luhansk region. And two civilians were held hostage by the Russian Federation — they are residents of the villages of Lypci in the Kharkiv region and Mariupol.
The total combat losses of the Russian army from 02/24/22 to 04/03/23 amounted to approximately:
