Four Russian helicopters shot down - Ukraine Armed Forces

As Ukraine heads into the twentieth day of the Russian invasion on its territory, the General Staff of Ukrainian Armed Forces has provided its daily morning update. And Qazet.az reports that update:

  • Russian forces remain focused on maintaining their gains on Ukrainian territory, and have failed to make further advances
    However Russian troops have continued to launch missile and bomb attacks on critical infrastructure and are co-opting civilian infrastructure
  • Russian soldiers have been using healthcare facilities in occupied territories to treat wounded personnel
  • Four helicopters, one plane and a cruise missile belonging to Russia were struck down by Ukrainian forces
  • Ukrainian units have managed to fend off Russian attempts to capture the heavily-contested southern port city of Mariupol and there have been no further signs of naval landings by Russian forces in the Black Sea region
  • The moral and psychological state of Russian troops "remains low", with Russian servicemen apparently refusing to carry out commands
