Ukrainian defenders defeat Russian BTG in Donetsk region

Ukrainian defenders have defeated a Russian battalion tactical group in the Donetsk region.

According to Ukrinform, the Operational and Tactical Group East reported this on Facebook.

"Yesterday, on April 1, the Russian fascists decided to intensify the offensive in several directions. However, such a large amount of equipment did not go unnoticed by our guys. Therefore, the occupiers received a 'warm' welcome," the statement said.

Ukrinform reported earlier that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have liberated more than 30 settlements from Russian invaders over the past 24 hours.
