The 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine's Azov unit confirmed that it successfully carried out Operation Peklo-2 in the Donetsk region. Russia once again suffered heavy losses.

"Operation Peklo-2 is yet another blow (to the Russian army—ed.). A month ago, we warned the Russian troops: Azov is monitoring their movements and will strike at the right moment," the Ukrainian defenders say.

According to them, certain units of the Russian forces ignored these warnings.

Moreover, they continued to store fuel in the occupied part of the Donetsk region.

"The burning dots on the map mark facilities involved in the storage and supply of fuel to the Russians. Within a month, these dots remained only on the maps; in reality, the ground there is now scorched," the Azov fighters note.

The Ukrainian defenders also point out that their unit never strikes civilian gas stations or attacks the civilian population, as the Russians do daily.

"But the infrastructure of the Russian forces will be destroyed without mercy," Azov warns Russians.

Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported on how the situation was unfolding in various sectors of the front.
