Russia suffers deadliest day with ‘nearly a thousand soldiers slaughtered’ on Ukraine battlefield as Putin’s troops flee

RUSSIA have suffered their deadliest day on the frontline after nearly 1,000 troops were killed in just 24 hours, Ukraine has claimed. The war-torn nation is continuing to push back against Vladimir Putin’s henchmen and have wiped out hundreds of his soldiers.

Serhiy Shaptala, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, gloated in a Facebook post: “It was a good 24 hours. The occupiers suffered their heaviest losses on the Donetsk and Lyman fronts.” Putin is reportedly sending his “poorly trained” soldiers to their deaths, as he desperately attempts to hold onto land in the region. Some of his mobilised men were seen fleeing as Ukrainian forces launched an attack on their armoured tank – before it embarrassingly flipped over. The troops were tossed through the air as missiles rained down on them in the shocking footage that was reportedly shot in Kherson.
