According to Ukraine, around 800 Russian soldiers, along with one plane, one helicopter, and three tanks, were eliminated throughout the course of the previous day.
On Thursday, the military of Ukraine claimed that 800 Russian soldiers had been killed in the previous day, the majority of which occurred during action in the eastern Donetsk region. Meanwhile, Western allies committed supplies of armoured battle vehicles but not the tanks that Ukraine needs.
During its daily morning briefing, the Ukrainian military provided an update on the conflict and said that Russian forces were concentrating their efforts on an offensive in the Bakhmut sector, while their strikes in the Avdiivka and Kupiansk sectors were ineffective.
According to the report, around 800 Russian soldiers, one plane, one helicopter, and three tanks had been destroyed throughout the course of the previous day.
It also reported an unspecified number of civilian casualties as a result of Russian air, missile, and rocket attacks on the Ukrainian-held city of Bakhmut, which is largely in ruins, along with two other cities in the Donetsk region: Kostiantynivka and Kurakhove. These attacks occurred in the Donetsk region.
Russia has stated that it did not target civilians in what it refers to as its “special military operation” in Ukraine; however, this has been denied.
Reuters was unable to independently verify the accounts from the battleground.
On Wednesday, a top official in the administration of the United States of America provided a gloomy assessment of the combat in the Donetsk region, particularly in the area of Bakhmut.
The official stated that “the fighting is still extremely strong” and that “what we’re witnessing in Bakhmut, we should expect to see elsewhere along the front that there will be sustained fighting in the coming months.”
