Ukraine has claimed to have inflicted a significant blow on Vladimir Putin's forces.

Maliar reportedly wrote in a Facebook post: "Since the beginning of the open large-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into the territory of Ukraine, the troops of the invading country have suffered the following losses (approximately) as of 3pm Friday:

Tanks — up to 80
Armored combat vehicles of various types — 516
Aircraft — 10
Helicopters — 7
Special staff — 2,800
We are strong! Victory will be ours."

On Thursday, at least 15 Russian T-72 tanks were "destroyed or damaged by the Ukrainian forces using the Javelin PTRK, an American anti-tank missile, near Glukhov,"

Ukraine has reportedly launched a counteroffensive and attacked a Russian military base approximately 10 miles from the border of the warring countries. Ukrainian forces claimed on Friday to have destroyed part of an airfield in Millerovo in southern Russia, destroying several of Moscow's fighter jets.
