Vladimir Putin spinning as 'Ukraine special forces destroy more than 1,000' invading tanks

Ukraine boasts of crippling a significant portion of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, though these triumphs haven't translated into territorial gains. The Defense Ministry celebrates a crucial victory achieved by the Security Service (SBU) on the battlefield.

A video circulating on X showcases Russian tanks engulfed in flames, courtesy of Ukrainian weaponry. Accompanying the footage is a message lauding the @ServiceSsu for neutralizing over 1000 tanks since the onset of the Russian invasion, with promises of more successes to follow.

According to Ministry data spanning from February 24, 2022, to June 18, 2024, Ukraine has rendered 7974 Russian tanks inoperable. Additional statistics detail Russia's staggering personnel losses, exceeding 528,000, and 359 aircraft.

Recent claims from Kyiv assert the disabling of one-third of the Black Sea Fleet, a strategic feat allowing Ukraine to sustain its grain exports despite Vladimir Putin's aggressive actions over two years ago.

Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk confirmed to RBC, "A third of them are unequivocally incapacitated - either destroyed or damaged."

Key targets of Ukrainian strikes on the Russian Navy since the conflict's outset include the Moskva and the fleet's Sevastopol headquarters in Crimea. Additionally, Ukraine has launched drone assaults on sensitive Russian facilities such as oil refineries and airfields.

On the front lines, Ukraine staunchly defends against Russian advances in Kharkiv, leveraging drone technology for support. Reflecting on the efficacy of these drone attacks, Russian soldier Anton Andreev lamented to Astra media, "They mow us down.

 We're thrown into gunfire and drone strikes like fodder in broad daylight, with commanders urging 'forward and forward'."
