The Russian Defence Ministry has announced that Ukrainian air defences have been neutralised with precision weapons.

“The military infrastructure of Ukrainian military air bases has been put out of action”, the statement on Thursday read.

“The air defences of the armed forces of Ukraine have been neutralised”.

The Russian MoD also noted that the border services of Ukraine “do not show any resistance” to Russian troops.

Earlier the defence ministry said precision weapons are neutralising Ukrainian military infrastructure, including air bases, and air defences.

The ministry noted that Ukrainian cities are not targeted, and only military facilities are being neutralised.
