Warfare Escalates: Ukraine and Russia Exchange Devastating Blows.

The Ukrainian military shared a video purportedly showing two Russian tanks being destroyed by a rocket strike. The tanks were allegedly attempting to attack Ukrainian positions. The video was shared as speculation mounts that at least two military parades scheduled to take place in Russia next month were canceled due to an increasing tank shortage. The Ukrainian military claims to have destroyed at least 3,644 Russian tanks since the war began on February 24, 2022. Victory Day parades were canceled in Russia's Kursk and Belgorod oblasts this week, prompting speculation that the parades were called off due to Moscow's dwindling supply of tanks and other military equipment.
