According to Urshalovych, last week, an aerial reconnaissance group of the 27th Pechersk Brigade, together with Ukrainian Artillery units, spotted and destroyed 4 self-propelled artillery systems, 2 howitzers, 6 armoured fighting vehicles, 2 special tracked vehicles and 12 Russian motor vehicles on the Lyman, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia fronts.
