The situation on the Ukrainian front has worsened. The Ukrainians have retreated a little

Therefore, the Ukrainians retreated to new defense lines west of Berdychi, Semenivka and Novomykhailivka.

“The most difficult situation is in the direction of Pokrovsk and Kurakhove, where fierce battles continue. The enemy has engaged up to four brigades in these directions and is trying to develop an attack to the west of Avdiyivka and Marjinka, moving towards Pokrovsk and Kurakhove,” Sirskis writes on his Telegram app channel.

The Ukrainian army inflicts maximum losses on the enemy both in terms of manpower and military equipment. In order to strengthen the defense in these districts and to replace the units that suffered losses, they are being replaced by brigades that have regained their combat capabilities, says Sirskis.

According to British intelligence estimates, since the start of the repeated invasion of Ukraine, the number of Russian troops killed and wounded has reached approximately 450,000, and the number of armored vehicles has exceeded 10,000.

He added that the size of the losses in Russian mercenary gangs is unknown.

The minister informed that according to the information available to the British, the Ukrainian army destroyed more than 10,000 Russian armored vehicles, including about 3,000 heavy tanks. At least 109 planes, 136 helicopters and 346 drones were shot down. 23 ships of various types were sunk and more than 1,500 artillery pieces were destroyed.
