Ukraine Russia Conflict: Russia destroys S-300 missile launchers in Ukraine, claims authorities

Russia's defence ministry on Monday said that it has destroyed S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems which had been supplied to Ukraine by a European country. Russian sea-launched Kalibr missiles on Sunday destroyed four S-300 launchers, the ministry claimed. 

Russia launched a war on Ukraine on February 24. However, according to the latest updates, more than 3,500 pro-Ukrainian demonstrators took to the streets of Germany in response to a motorcade of about 600 pro-Russian protesters in 400 cars flying Russian flags. Meanwhile, the White House has renewed its condemnation of the Russian targeting of Ukrainian civilians as war crimes, citing recent events including Friday’s missile strike on a railway station as “cruel and criminal and evil”. The death toll from Kramatorsk train station attack has risen to 57, Ukraine said. And Russian armed forces are seeking to strengthen troop numbers with personnel discharged from military service a decade ago, as losses mount.
