Russia has claimed that its artillery systems went in action and took out Ukrainian troops.
Russian artillery allegedly targeted Ukrainian forces before opening fire on them and quickly moved to new locations, presumably to avoid being hit by return fire.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed in a statement obtained on Monday, June 27 (in English): “Akatsiya 152-mm self-propelled artillery system crews in combat action within offensive of Western MD [Military District] troops at AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] positions.”
