The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation said that as a result of the strike of Russian forces on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a number of military formations of Ukraine lost their combat capability.

This was announced during a briefing on June 26 by the official representative of the department, Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov.

The blow was inflicted by high-precision weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces and Caliber missiles on the territory of the 169th training center of the ground forces in the area of ​​​​the settlement of Desna, Chernihiv region, the 199th training center of airborne assault troops in the area of ​​Teterevka, Zhytomyr region, as well as the 184th training center center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the village of Starichi, Lviv region.

“As a result of the strike, the 65th, 66th motorized infantry brigades and the 46th airmobile brigade from the strategic reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which completed training at these training grounds, completely lost their combat capability.

Thus, the planned transfer of these formations to the combat zone was disrupted, ”Konashenkov said.

In addition, operational-tactical and army aviation, rocket troops and artillery attacked enemy manpower and military equipment in 286 regions.

Artillery and mortar units in 62 districts, two command posts and four ammunition depots were also hit.

In addition, ten platoons of multiple launch rocket systems were hit by high-precision weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces in the Donetsk direction.

More than 720 nationalists, 12 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 16 special vehicles were destroyed as a result of air strikes, rocket troops and artillery.

The Russian Defense Ministry also noted that the enemy again made an unsuccessful attempt to strike with aircraft and multiple launch rocket systems on Zmeiny Island.

“As a result of repulsing the attack by the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and gun system, a Su-25 aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force and 12 rockets were shot down.

There are no casualties among the personnel of the garrison and no destruction, ”the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Along with this, Russian air defense systems destroyed eight Ukrainian drones and shot down 19 multiple rocket launchers.

In addition, a MiG-29 aircraft of the Ukrainian forces was shot down in an air battle.

The day before, the cities of Severodonetsk and Borovskoye were liberated.

The Ministry of Defense noted that the success of the Russian troops and the forces of the people's republics of Donbass significantly reduces the morale and psychological state of the personnel of the Ukrainian army.

“In the 30th mechanized brigade, deployed near Artyomovsk, there are massive cases of drunkenness, drug use and unauthorized abandonment of combat positions,” the ministry noted.

Warehouse with foreign weapons

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the Russian military had found an abandoned warehouse with foreign weapons and a place of residence for Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers in the Kharkiv region.

“In an impromptu storage located in a residential building, samples of foreign-made weapons were found abandoned during the retreat by the formations of the Kyiv regime: unused man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) Javelin and NLAW,” the ministry said.

It is noted that all weapons found will be handed over to the forces of the republics of Donbass for the further liberation of the territories of the DPR and LPR.

In addition, Nazi symbols were found on the walls of the residential building housing the Ukrainian military.

Evacuation from the Azot plant in Severodonetsk

Ambassador of the Lugansk People's Republic in Russia Rodion Miroshnik said that hundreds more civilians could be on the territory of the Azot plant located in Severodonetsk.

Recall that on June 25 it became known about the evacuation of civilians from the Azot plant.

As the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, noted, the Ukrainian military, who were hiding in the squares of the enterprise, did not tell the local residents about the possibility of evacuation and receiving assistance, food and medicine from Russian troops.

As the LPR ambassador noted later, the evacuation was suspended due to renewed shelling from Lysichansk.

According to him, there may still be people in the premises.

“Some of those who came out said that there could be hundreds more civilians in shelters that do not communicate with each other,” he writes.

Miroshnik also said that the Ukrainian military tried to force civilians to leave the plant’s dungeons: they set fire to walls and doors, tried to drive smoke into the cracks and air ducts of shelters.

“When leaving, the Nazis mined many entrances to the shelters.

Many traps and stretch marks have been installed.

Now our sappers are working with them, ”he said.
