Russian artillerymen are highly skilled professionals who play a crucial role in modern warfare. Equipped with advanced systems such as the 2S19 Msta-S and 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled howitzers, they are capable of delivering precise and rapid firepower against enemy targets.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of Battlegroup Tsentr artillerymen attacking positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Avdeyevka area.
The ministry noted that the artillery crews fired a number of fragmentation shells from a distance of more than 10 kilometers at the area where the enemy was located.

"Confirmation is coming in on reports that France is preparing to send its troops to Ukraine. I would like to point out that we announced such reports on April 3. Even though Paris is trying to conceal the involvement of its professional soldiers in the conflict, the Kiev regime is deliberately promoting such developments in order to once again claim broad international support and beef up its failed mobilization campaign," the diplomat noted.
Zakharova pointed to the documents signed by Alexander Syrsky, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, which give French instructors the legal right to visit the Ukrainian army’s training centers. "Now, the Elysee Palace should comment on this information instead of hiding behind vague wordings," the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman stressed. "Technically, the so-called instructors are required for directing long-range SCALP missiles, which are difficult to use, to targets," she added.
Zakharova emphasized that Poland and the Baltic states had also made statements about the potential deployment of troops to Ukraine. "This makes it clear that their initial plan regarding Ukraine has completely failed. They are now scrambling for ways to carry on with the campaign," the diplomat explained.
