The Ukrainian military has shot down another Russian Su-34 fighter bomber. It was the second in a day and the tenth in recent times, according to Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk.
"Around 2 p.m., we destroyed another Su-34. The direction is the same! The goal is the same!" he writes.
The general notes that with such losses of combat and special aviation, the Russians should think about it and at least for a while stop "air meat assaults".
"Well, we will continue to work. Until victory," Oleshchuk adds.
