Russian losses in Bakhmut direction revealed

Colonel Serhiy Cherevaty, spokesman for the Eastern Group of Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, has said this, ArmyInform has reported.

According to the speaker, the occupants are not abandoning their attempts to capture Bakhmut.

In this direction there have been 29 military clashes, 415 strikes from barrel and rocket artillery and 6 air raids on the positions of the Ukrainian defenders. As a result of the clashes, over 120 insurgents were killed, 64 were wounded, an enemy T-72 tank was shot down, two electronic warfare stations and five field depots were destroyed," Cherevaty said.

He noted that for the last 9 months the enemy has lost about 100 thousand manpower in the direction of Bakhmut.

But it is a rough estimate. I am sure that further verification will only increase this figure. This is natural, since the enemy uses the so-called butchering of personnel as its main method of warfare," he added.

Recall that as of May 8, total Russian combat losses stand at 194,970 personnel, 3,730 tanks, 7,253 armoured combat vehicles, 3,018 artillery systems, 2,614 operational-tactical UAVs.
