Russia: Large Amount of US, European Military Equipment Destroyed in Kharkov
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) said a large amount of US and European military hardware had been destroyed in a Russian airstrike in Ukraine’s Kharkov region.
Spokesman Igor Konashenkov told reporters on Saturday that “in the vicinity of the Bogodukhov railway station in the Kharkov region, a massive consignment of military equipment that Kiev had received from the US and European countries has been obliterated”.
He added that as result of the airstrike, “up to 280 (Ukrainian) nationalists as well as 48 units of weapons and military equipment have been destroyed”, Sputnik reported.
Konasheknov also singled out 18 Ukrainian military infrastructure objects, including two command posts in the Skovorodnikovo district of the Kharkov region, as well as three ammunition and fuel depots in the Odessa region that were destroyed by Russian warplanes.
Russia launched what it calls "a special operation to demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine" on February 24.
Last month, Moscow warned that the supplies of weapons provided by the US and its allies to Kiev are exacerbating the Ukraine conflict and could result in unpredictable consequences.
