Ukrainian soldiers repaired on Friday (June 16) a Russian infantry fighting vehicle captured in the eastern Donetsk region during a counteroffensive against Russia.
The transmission and engine of the BMP-2 were deemed to be in very good condition, the latter appearing to have had only 26 hours of running time, according to Ihor, a 66-year-old soldier repairing it.
The vehicle was captured on Thursday (June 15), video released by Ukraine's army showed, as Kyiv said it had regained control of over 100 square km (38 square miles) of territory.
Brigadier-General Oleksii Hromov confirmed Russian troops that invaded in February 2022 had been forced out of seven settlements in the eastern region of Donetsk and in the southern region of Zaporizhzhia.
The army has advanced by to 3 km (1.8 miles) near the village of Mala Tokmachka in the Zaporizhzhia sector and by up to 7 km near a village south of Velyka Novosilka in the Donetsk sector, Hromov said.
Reuters could not verify the battlefield situation.
