Ukraine has lost more than 350 soldiers both killed and injured in the Donetsk and South Donetsk directions over the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Tuesday.
Over the given period, the Russian armed forces repelled two attacks by the Ukrainian troops in the Donetsk direction, two attacks in the South Donetsk direction, four attacks in the Kupyansk direction, and two attacks in the Krasny Liman direction.
"Over the past day in this [Donetsk] direction, the enemy’s losses amounted to 165 Ukrainian military personnel killed and wounded, two armored combat vehicles and three cars," the ministry said in a statement, adding that Kiev lost up to 200 servicemen in the South Donetsk direction.
Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that Ukrainian troops did not achieve any tangible results on all frontlines since the beginning of their counteroffensive on June 4, something that he said had claimed the lives of more than 71,000 Ukrainian soldiers by the time.
In 2022, Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine with the main goal of liberating and defending the residents of the Donbass region, where people have been suffering from a blockade and regular attacks by the Kiev regime's forces since 2014.
