Thus, according to the General Staff, the Defense Forces destroyed 3 tanks, 9 armored combat vehicles, 24 artillery systems, 44 vehicles and 2 special vehicles over the past day.

On February 25, 2024, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky declared the number of dead Ukrainian soldiers — 31 000. He did not name the number of wounded and missing.
