Two more russian refineries attacked | Ukraine Daily Update | Day 798
Video Summary
As I report on Day 798 of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, I’m compelled to highlight the latest developments in this ongoing conflict. A targeted attack on Odessa resulted in the loss of three innocent lives and left many more wounded. The assault on the office of the Ukrainian Ombudsman, responsible for safeguarding human rights, was shocking and raises concerns about the motivations behind this senseless violence. Meanwhile, reports of coordinated airstrikes on Russian oil refinery facilities underscore the vulnerability of the Russian oil industry, posing significant challenges for the Russian air defense system.
In recent days, the Russian military has suffered a surge in casualties, reminiscent of previous offensives, due to the deployment of new artillery shells and missiles. The Ukrainian Defense Forces have seemingly gained the upper hand, with reports of the withdrawal of Russian mercenaries from Luhansk. This shift in dynamics may signal a change in the front line.
Additionally, the Ukrainian Military Intelligence service has revealed a plan for a forthcoming Russian propaganda campaign, targeting social media platforms like TikTok, aimed at inciting dissent against the government. To counter this, the Ukrainian Air Force is set to receive F16 fighter jets, with deployment expected within weeks. Moreover, the analytical impact of Ukrainian drone technology on the battlefield is evident, with $65 million worth of Russian military equipment destroyed in the past month, at a cost of approximately $155,000 to the Ukrainian forces.
As the conflict rages on, it’s essential to be aware of the devastating consequences of this war, not only on the battlefield but also in the personal lives of those affected. The arrival of F16 fighter jets in Ukraine is a significant move, and I will continue to keep you updated on further developments in the coming days.
