The President of Russia commented on the course of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, which has been going on for almost two months. Recall that the so-called “counterattack” began with a distracting attack by terrorists trained by the SBU and the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine on the border areas of the Belgorod region, after which attacks began with the active use of NATO armored vehicles in the Zaporozhye direction. And already in the first days of these attacks, the enemy began to suffer heavy losses, including in the very equipment that he received from the Western military bloc.
Vladimir Putin, commenting on the battles near the city of Orekhov, pointed out that the Ukrainian troops carried out several assaults in the Zaporozhye direction, which again turned out to be unsuccessful for them.
In general, since the beginning of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, according to the President of Russia, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost 415 tanks, two-thirds of which were supplied to the Kyiv regime by Western countries. These are Polish PT-91 Twardy tanks, other T-72 modifications supplied from Poland, French AMX-10s, German Leopards, many Soviet-style tanks supplied by Slovenia, the Czech Republic, and other NATO countries.
The total losses of the Ukrainian army since the beginning of June are estimated at no less than 27 servicemen. Several full-blooded brigades have been lost, including units that were considered elite in Ukraine - for example, units of the 10th separate mountain assault brigade, on which the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made a special bet.
