Meanwhile, a chart released by the Ukrainian government shows the amount of Russian hardware destroyed in the 20 days since the start of the war.
It comes just days after newly released footage captured by defense drones showed the Ukrainian army destroying several Russian armored vehicles and a command center as the war enters its 18th day.
The first video, posted online on Sunday morning, shows rockets firing at three armored personnel carriers in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol in the country’s southeast.
Aerial footage, which was released by several unverified sources, shows that an BTR-82 and a KamAZ-63968 Typhoon vehicle were successfully fired on. When the strike took place is not specified.
BTR-82A is a modern wheeled armored personnel carrier (APC) with an 8×8 wheel formula, which is produced in Russia for use in the armies of Russia and Kazakhstan.
A second video was also posted online on Sunday showing a drone strike on a Russian command center in southern Ukraine.
Recently released security drone footage shows the Ukrainian army destroying several Russian armored vehicles in Mariupol (pictured) and a command post in Vasylivka.
The footage was released by the Ukrainian army, which said it showed a Russian command and control center being destroyed by a Bayraktar drone near Vasylivka in the Mykolaiv region.
It is not known whether there were casualties in both attacks on Russian troops and how many.
This comes after another explosion hit the capital of Kyiv on Tuesday morning, when early strikes set fire to apartment buildings.
Kharkiv came under attack again on Tuesday, when the city’s mayor said more than 600 buildings had been destroyed there since the start of the Russian invasion.
“Schools, kindergartens, hospitals, polyclinics have been destroyed,” Mayor Igor Terekhov said in a TV interview on Tuesday. “The Russian army is constantly shelling (us) from the ground and from the air.”
The Ukrainian military said four Russian helicopters, a plane and a cruise missile were shot down by its forces, which still controlled all major cities, including the hard-hit southern port of Mariupol.

Meanwhile, Zelenskiy, speaking via videoconference today with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and representatives from the Baltic and Nordic countries, said that Vladimir Putin’s invasion had undermined the European security infrastructure by invading a sovereign country and expressed disappointment that Ukraine was not allowed to join. NATO.
Speaking through an interpreter, he said that the alliance’s “open door” policy had not worked for Ukraine. “Of course, Ukraine is not a NATO member, we understand that.” he said.
“We have heard about open doors for many years, but we have also heard that we cannot enter those doors. It’s true, and we should just accept her for who she is.”
Zelenskiy has requested military supplies, which he says are quickly being used up. “The amount we receive per week is usually used by us within 20 hours,” he said. “You know what weapons we need, everyone knows.
He also called for a full trade embargo, warning that Western sanctions were “not enough” to stop Russian aggression, and said that Moscow’s Navy ships should be banned from ports around the world and all Russian banks should be banned from Swift’s financial messaging system.

“We must recognize Russia as a rogue state and impose a trade embargo on Russia.
“This is what we and you, as well as the whole world, need to ensure peace in Europe and Ukraine,” he said.
Zelenskiy also criticized firms that continue to do business with Russia, warning that they “do not care about the 97 children who have been killed so far” and denouncing international leaders for “silence” when nuclear power plants are seized and shelled.
