A detailed breakdown of the war shows that the loss of one more Russian tank now means Ukraine has destroyed 2915, while the destruction of two more Russian artillery systems now means that Putin’s army has now lost 1904 in total.

The news of Russian losses comes after soldiers from Putin’s armed forces were accused of kidnapping and torturing Ukrainian priests.

According to ‘Legion of Freedom’ fighter Kostyantyn Denysov, Ukrainian priests were being abducted and tortured in the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine to “reduce civil resistance.”

“Russians are constantly inventing new forms of the genocide of Ukrainians,” he said.

“They kidnap Ukrainian priests in the occupied territories, torture them, then put a bag over their heads and deport them outside Zaporizhzhya region.”
