Ukraine claims to have defeated a Russian tank regiment and eliminated its commander in the city of Brovary near the capital Kyiv.

The military intelligence service of the Ukrainian government, which is under the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, posts a video to Twitter showing several military vehicles being struck by artillery fire.

The video shows several armored vehicles turning around and retreating under the Ukrainian fire.

The military intelligence service says the battalion tactical group of the 6th tank regiment of the 90th tank division of the Central Command “suffered significant losses” and the regiment’s commander, Colonel A. Zakharov, was killed.

Other videos posted online show burning Russian tanks in the area.

Russian troops have been approaching Kyiv since the war began two weeks ago.
