Russia: We shot down two Ukrainian Sukhoi-25 fighters

According to Fars News Agency, the spokesman of the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Saturday evening that the country’s air defense has shot down two Ukrainian Sukhoi-25 fighter jets over the Kherson region.
The crisis in Ukraine began after the escalation of rhetoric of the Western-oriented government of the country about NATO membership, the relations between Kiev and Moscow became very tense. Following the escalation of tensions, Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24, 2022 (March 5, 1400) ordered the military to begin “special military operations in Ukraine”. This order was issued a few days after the recognition of the independence of “Luhansk” and “Donetsk” from Ukraine.
Russian officials have announced that the country is seeking to secure its security interests, disarm Ukraine, de-Nazify the country, and ensure Ukraine’s non-membership in NATO.
On the other hand, the commander of the German armed forces warned on Wednesday that the West should not underestimate Russia’s military power and that this country can open a second front if necessary.
According to the Reuters news agency, General Oberhard Zorn, the commander of the German armed forces, said: “Perhaps a large part of the Russian ground forces are currently stationed in Ukraine, but nevertheless, we should not underestimate the potential of the Russian ground forces to open the front.” Let’s underestimate the second war.
He added that in addition to land forces, Russia also has naval and air forces.
The end of the message.
