Ukrainian troops are claiming to have sent Russian artillery troops scrambling after blitzing an enemy gun position. Footage of the alleged assault shows a series of shattering blasts, understood to be the guns and ammunition exploding.

Eventually, the position goes up in an enormous fireball sending what appear to be ignited shells into the air at random.

Then a series of Russian vehicles evacuated the area at high speed, apparently as the invading forces advance.

Ukraine's 59th Motorised Brigade - part of the Ukrainian Ground Forces named after Yakov Gandziuk - claimed the destruction of the artillery battery.

The brigade also joked that they are sending the second best army in the world to the bottom of the rankings.

The Ukrainian brigade said in a statement on April 15: 'Good morning Ukraine! 'The Armed Forces continue to confidently lower the 'second best army in the world' to the bottom of the rankings.

'The 59th Motorised Infantry Brigade named after Yakov Gandziuk is continuing to actively undermine enemy units.

'Another destroyed Russian artillery battery.' Russia invaded their neighbour Ukraine on February 24 in what the Kremlin called a 'special military operation.'

Today marks the 51st day of the invasion with a total combat losses of Russian troops standing at nearly 20,000 personnel so far, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military also claimed that Russia has lost 756 battle tanks, 1,976 combat armoured vehicles, 366 artillery systems, 115 MLR systems, 66 anti-aircraft systems, 163 warplanes, 144 helicopters, 1,443 vehicles, seven vessels, 76 fuel tank trucks, 135 operational-tactical level UAVs, 25 units of special equipment, and four mobile SRBM systems.

Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has reiterated Berlin's support to Kyiv after Ukraine rejected a visit by President Steinmeier.

Germany has vowed to send more weapons to Ukraine.

The move comes after the US promised a further USD 800 million in weapons, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying that he was 'sincerely thankful' to the Americans for their military support.
