“Over the past day, our servicemen destroyed 56 Ukrainian nationalists, one tank, two infantry fighting vehicles and two armored personnel carriers.

One infantry fighting vehicle, one 122-mm MLRS BM-21 "Grad" and one cargo vehicle were captured," the ministry said.

Earlier, RT military correspondent Andrey Filatov told how the marines calculated the location of the militants of the Ukrainian national battalion Azov using a copter.

The video was filmed shortly before the complete blocking of Azov at the Azovstal plant.
