Russia’s Defense Ministry said on Sunday that its air defense systems had shot down four Ukrainian warplanes in the past 24 hours, just two days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said Kyiv had shot down three Russian bombers, Reuters reported.
The Defense Ministry’s daily bulletin said its air defenses shot down three Su-27 fighter jets and one Su-24 tactical bomber in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions in southeastern Ukraine.
Zelenskyi said on Friday that the country’s armed forces had shot down three Russian Su-34 fighter jets on the southern front, calling it a success in the 22-month conflict.
- “Today at noon in the southern sector…minus three Russian Su-34 fighter jets!”, Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleschuk wrote in Telegram.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the reports from the two countries.
