The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage showing a Russian Viking kamikaze UAV destroying a Ukrainian mortar unit near Soledar in the Donetsk People's Republic.
Ukraine launched a counteroffensive against Russian forces in early June after several postponements.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had failed, with Ukraine suffering an estimated 71,000 casualties. Several Western officials have also admitted that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had not been successful so far.
