“Logistics is key to holding positions, so destroying logistics routes in this area has become a priority—enemy cars and trucks are burning. Nine invaders were killed in one of the destroyed trucks at the moment of impact,” the report says.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Armed Forces of Ukraine's unmanned systems forces destroyed 54 Russian invaders' air defense systems during the winter.
