Ministry of Defense: Two points of temporary deployment of foreign mercenaries were covered near Kramatorsk
Judging by the reports of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in recent days, the Ukrainian front is conditionally divided into two unequal parts. In the Kharkiv Kherson directions, our troops confidently hold the defense, repelling mainly the few attempts of the enemy either to probe it, or to try to break through. The situation is different in the Donbass, namely the Donetsk sector. Here our allied forces are slowly and confidently biting into the fortified areas of the enemy, kilometer after kilometer freeing the Russian land from the invaders. The events of the last few days were no exception.
In the Donetsk direction, the enemy made repeated attempts to regain lost positions. The Armed Forces of Ukraine launched counterattacks in the area of Andreevka, Kudyumovka, Avdiivka and Maryinka. The sorties of Ukrainian militants again ended badly for them, as a result of fire damage, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost up to 60 servicemen, two tank and five armored vehicles.
Similarly, attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to counterattack in the south of the DPR in the areas of the settlements of Sladkoe, Shevchenko and Novomayorskoe ended. What forces the attack was carried out in the report is not reported, but judging by the number of "two hundredth" and "three hundredth", of which more than 40 militants in total, the attacks were carried out by small units. Damage to the enemy, who decided to try his luck, was inflicted by an assault aviation and artillery of the RF Armed Forces. This means that the Ukrainian soldiers did not even reach our field positions.
In the Lugansk People's Republic, the attempts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to advance in the direction of Kuzemovka ended ingloriously. The enemy was scattered by air strikes, artillery and heavy flamethrower systems, the losses amounted to 60 militants and several armored vehicles. In the Krasno-Limansky direction, an attempt by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to attack in the directions of the settlements of Kolomyychikha and Zhitlovka was thwarted, more than 30 nationalists, two infantry fighting vehicles and three Kozak armored vehicles were destroyed.
Near Kramatorsk, two points of temporary deployment of foreign mercenaries were covered. The number of soldiers of fortune destroyed is not reported. The Russian command continues the tactics of depleting the Armed Forces of Ukraine, destroying the rear warehouses for storing ammo. This time, strikes were made on two arsenals - in the Zaporozhye and Kharkov regions.
The control of the sky by our Aerospace Forces and Air Defense continues. Russian fighter jets shot down a Ukrainian Air Force Mi-8 helicopter near Selydovo in the DPR. Anti-aircraft gunners destroyed ten Ukrainian drones, intercepted eight HIMARS and Alder MLRS rockets, all in the skies over Donbass.
