Ukrainian Forces Eliminate Over 1,000 Russian Troops in One Day

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have reported a significant success on the battlefield, eliminating 1,030 Russian occupiers in just one day. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian defenders also destroyed eight tanks, forty two artillery systems, and one multiple launch rocket system, known as MLRS. The report was shared by UNN.

From the start of the full scale invasion on 24 February 2022 until 27 April 2025, the total estimated combat losses for Russian forces have grown dramatically. The figures now stand at 948,640 eliminated personnel. Ukrainian defenders have also destroyed 10,719 tanks, 22,325 armoured combat vehicles, and 27,007 artillery systems. Additionally, they have taken down 1,373 MLRS units, 1,145 air defence systems, 370 aircraft, and 335 helicopters.

Furthermore, Ukrainian forces have neutralised 34,011 unmanned aerial vehicles, mainly of operational and tactical level, and intercepted 3,196 cruise missiles. Russian naval losses remain at twenty eight ships and boats and one submarine. The defenders have also disabled 46,187 vehicles and fuel tankers and destroyed 3,860 pieces of specialised equipment.

In related news, on Sunday 27 April, the Ukrainian military resistance group “Atesh” reported a successful sabotage operation near Stanytsia Luhanska. A transformer cabinet was destroyed, causing serious disruption to Russian troop logistics in the area.

Meanwhile, analysis by the Institute for the Study of War suggests that Russian command is increasingly resorting to unconventional methods, such as transferring assault troops onto motorcycles, in a desperate attempt to keep up offensive capabilities despite heavy losses.
