The relevant video was posted by Advisor to Mariupol Mayor Petro Andriushchenko on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Yesterday, a large column of military vehicles – up to 100 units – drove via the city towards Zaporizhzhia Region. BMD-4 vehicles were seen on tractors in the column, which some people considered to be tanks, and many armored personnel carriers,” Andriushchenko wrote.

In his words, a large number of Russian soldiers were brought by KamAZ and accommodated in Nikolske District and Manhush District, bordering with Zaporizhzhia Region, mostly in school premises.

“Local residents say most occupiers are very young. In conversations, some of them say they are doing military service by conscription,” Andriushchenko noted.

A reminder that, between February 24, 2022 and July 16, 2022, Russia’s total combat losses in Ukraine reached about 38,140 troops.
