The Security Service of Ukraine servicemen destroyed over 170 units of Russian equipment during the week. Losses of equipment reduce Russia's offensive capabilities, according to the Security Service of Ukraine.

Over the past week, fighters from the Security Service of Ukraine's Special Operations Center A used attack drones to destroy 174 Russian military vehicles.

“And without the supply of ammunition and reinforcements, the Russian's offensive capabilities are significantly reduced,” the statement said.

As reported earlier by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia has lost more than 790,000 soldiers since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Over the last day alone, Ukrainian defenders eliminated 1,250 Russian occupants and destroyed dozens of Russian vehicles. Among the destroyed equipment are tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery systems, helicopters, and vehicles.
