According to Qatar News Agency, the statement added that Russian military units inflicted casualties on Ukrainian troops, totaling 1,465, mostly fatalities and injuries, in addition to destroying dozens of armored vehicles, artillery, as well as ammunition and cyber warfare emplacements.

Russian air defense forces reportedly shot down 105 hybridized fixed-wing drones, 11 HIMARS rockets, and a modified S-200 missile targeting ground objectives, the statement continued.

It noted that Russian tactical operational air forces, offensive drones, missile forces, and artillery targeted energy infrastructure facilities used by Ukrainian forces, along with long-range drones and temporary deployment sites of Ukrainian troops across 154 locations.
