The Russian Defense Ministry has reported that Ukrainian troops have lost 80 percent of their personnel (more than 12,000 people) and three thousand units of combat equipment.
“Establishing control over this important logistical hub has significantly hampered the logistics and technical support of the AFU grouping in the Donetsk direction,” the Defense Ministry announced.
To hold Kurakhovo, the AFU command has concentrated 26 battalions with a total strength of over 15,000 servicemen.
In addition, hostilities continue in Zaporizhzhya region. The day before, Ukrainian troops attacked the nuclear power plant in Energodar, which is under the control of Russian troops.
All eight attack UAVs were destroyed, but the fall of one of them caused a fire on the roof of the training center of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant. There were no casualties, and the Zaporizhzhya NPP staff is now operating in normal mode.
