Ukrainian military shot down three more Russian attack jets
The Ukrainian military has given a new operational update for Wednesday morning covering the last 24 hour period, saying they have shot down three more Russian jets.
They claim to have destroyed three Russian aircraft, including two Su-34 fighter-bombers. In addition, the ministry says Ukrainian forces shot down a Russian helicopter, three tactical UAVs, and two “winged missiles.”
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence says its forces continued to launch strikes at Russian forces including air attacks on Russian convoys.
“The opponent continues to suffer losses and retreats in different directions,” the statement says.
So far we haven’t received any footage or images of the shot down helicopters.
Day 21 of the war in Ukraine
It’s day 21 of the war in Ukraine which was launched by Russia on 24 February on the pretext of supporting the independent states in the south of Ukraine.
The fighting has forced more than three million Ukrainians to flee their homes, with thousands of people killed or wounded.
Kyiv is under a 35-hour lockdown which lasts until Thursday morning as Russian forces stepped up their attacks on the capital city, with many residents spending another night in basement bomb shelters or subway stations for safety.
