The Russian army lost more than 35,000 soldiers in March alone. A large number of enemy troops were neutralized using drones, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Personnel losses
"Russian losses this March have reached their highest level since the start of the war: our drone strikes alone resulted in 33,988 Russian servicemembers killed or seriously wounded, while artillery and other strikes eliminated another 1,363 Russian occupiers," the President said.
He added that losses exceeding 35,000 in a single month are confirmed, with Ukraine having video evidence of each strike in its system. The most effective drone units were:
- Special Operations Center "A" of Ukraine’s Security Service
- Magyar's Birds
- The State Border Guard Service's special unit Phoenix
- Lasar’s Group
- 95th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade
According to Zelenskyy, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov reported to him on the results of all units at the front. There are detailed reports for each direction and each category of strikes, and Ukraine is ready to share this data with partners.
"Essentially, Ukraine’s Defense and Security Forces have denied the occupier the ability to dictate the situation on the front line," he noted.
Strikes on air defense
The President also said that the results of destroying Russian air defense systems have significantly improved. In March alone, 274 such systems were hit.
There are also tangible results in targeting enemy warehouses and military logistics.
Zelenskyy said that a detailed report on the achievements of Ukrainian forces in March will be presented later, including data that can be made public.
Earlier, following a report from Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, the Ukrainian President noted that Russian forces are trying to intensify assaults along the front line, but this only leads to higher enemy losses.
More details on the situation along the front line are available in RBC-Ukraine’s report.
