“The leadership of the Russian occupation forces continues to use all available means to restore the combat capacity of units that have suffered losses in battles in the territory of Ukraine. Thus, in the temporarily occupied areas of the Donetsk region, the so-called ‘local authorities’ are conscripting and training 250 more prisoners. In the coming days, they will be sent to supplement units on the front lines,” the General Staff noted.
Russian invaders continue to suffer losses. In particular, enemy personnel and military equipment clusters were confirmed to have been struck near the Kherson region’s Nova Kuban, resulting in the detonation of ammunition. The final losses are yet to be checked.

The enemy’s losses were confirmed as follows: one Russian strong point, 10 military equipment clusters six air defense missile systems. In addition, the Ukrainian anti-aircraft defense units shot down one enemy unmanned aerial vehicle.
