Day 23 Sitrep - Russian War on Ukraine

Low Russian morale, heavy losses on the ground and air

The situation for Ukranian civilians remains grim with constant Russian shelling and bombing of cities.

The governor of the northern Chernihiv region reported deaths of 53 civilians killed in the past 24 hours, while Russia denies targeting civilians.

But the Ukrainian military is inflicting heavy losses on an increasingly demoralized Russian army..

The Ukrainian General Staff said it had destroyed around 30 vehicles and killed the commander, Colonel Igor Nikolaev, of the 252th Motorised Rifle division of the Western Military District, which is currently in combat around Kharkiv.

Low morale is also reportedly infecting the Russian air force.
