Ukrainian MoD: 7 Russian military planes, 1 helicopter, 1 UAV destroyed

The 29th day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to the Russian military action has begun, reported from the Defence Ministry of Ukraine.

"The Defence Forces continues to conduct a defense operation in the Eastern, Southeastern, and Northeastern directions. The Russians did not succeed in any of them. Groups of troops deter the enemy in these areas, conduct a stabilization operation and perform territorial defense tasks.

"Russian aircraft continue to be active, striking from the air, and more than 250 aircraft flights have been recorded in the last 24 hours (60 more than on March 22). Their main targets remain military and civilian infrastructure in Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv oblasts.

"The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine repulses concentrated missile and airstrikes and air attacks, air cover of important objects of Ukraine, and groups of troops. For the previous day, 11 Russian air targets were hit (7 planes, 1 UAV, 1 helicopter, and 2 cruise missiles). Information about their final downing is being clarified.

"In the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region, in connection with peaceful protests against the occupation, the Russian troops resorted to the terror of the local population, actively using rosguard units to prevent these actions of civil disobedience to the occupation authorities. The enemy continues to lose manpower and equipment in all directions. The total resistance of the Ukrainian people continues," General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on Facebook.
