After a month of attack on Avdievka, the Russian army lost about 10,000 men and a hundred tanks

A month ago, the enemy began to actively storm Avdiivka in the Donetsk Oblast. During this time, the Defense Forces eliminated about a thousand Russian soldiers. This is reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces.

It is reported that within a month, the armed forces destroyed over 100 enemy tanks, 250 other armored vehicles, about 50 artillery systems and 7 Su-25 aircraft. The total loss of enemy manpower is approximately ten thousand men.

On this occasion, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny thanked the Ukrainian military.

Thank you to the brigades and our units. Infantrymen, artillerymen, tankers, scouts, anti-aircraft system operators, medics. To every defender, every defender who defends Avdiivka. I bow to those on the shield. Eternal memory and respect

he in particular said.

The Russian military does not stop the attack on Avdievka

Occupation forces continue to withdraw their equipment to Avdiivka, covering the rollover with mortar and artillery fire. A soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yevhen Ievlev, talked about it in “Espresso”.

“We are between Avdiivka and Bakhmut, namely towards Horlov, I cannot be more specific. I will tell you the situation in our direction, because Bakhmut has lost focus a little due to the intensification of enemy attacks on Avdiivka. Now our attention is focused on the fact that right next to us, at a depth of 10-20 km, the enemy is pulling out his equipment, which is shelling Avdiivka itself – said a soldier of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In particular, he noticed that despite this, our scouts resort to tricks and find enemy equipment.

Let me tell you right away that these are not dozens of units of the occupiers' equipment at once. However, we have D-20, D-30 guns, tanks, MT-LBshki in our arsenal, and just a week ago our most serious trophy was Solntsepok. I can say about Avdiivka that at night we hear how heavily the enemy is shelling this city. I will tell you that the noise does not subside over Avdiivka, and the map is about 12-15 km away from us

noted Yevhen Ievlev.

The Armed Forces maintain stable defense in the Avdiivka area

The commander of the operational and strategic group of soldiers Tavria, General Oleksandr Tarnavsky, said that Ukrainian soldiers are firmly maintaining defense in the Avdiivka area.

Heavy fighting is taking place on this part of the front, accompanied by constant enemy fire. A day earlier, a representative of the Donetsk district prosecutor's office, Olena Rudenko, reported that the Russian army probably shelled Avdiivka and Oleksandropil from the Pokrov region with artillery. Two people were injured.

The prosecutor's office had initiated preparatory proceedings pursuant to Part 1 of Art. 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, namely violation of the laws and customs of war.
