It was stopped, suffered even more significant losses: more than 1,600 military personnel, 28 tanks, including 8 Leopards and 3 AMX-10 wheeled tanks, 136 units of other military equipment, including 79 foreign ones. ◽ Attempts to attack were thwarted, the enemy was stopped, Russian soldiers and officers showed courage and heroism in battles. ❗ I repeat, the enemy did not achieve his goals, suffered significant and incomparable losses. ◽ The units of the 433rd motorized rifle regiment of the 127th motorized rifle division, the 37th and 60th motorized rifle brigades have distinguished themselves in battles, showing perseverance and stamina. ◽ Special heroism was shown by the 3rd company of the 37th motorized rifle brigade under the command of junior lieutenant Yury Yuryevich Zhelanov and the commander of the 1st battalion of the same brigade, Major Vladimir Vladimirovich Polozhentsev. ◽ These units, being in the direction of the main attack, staunchly defended their positions and inflicted significant losses on the superior forces of the enemy's 37th Marine Brigade.Under the threat of encirclement, junior lieutenant Zhelanov, being wounded, took his company to pre-equipped defensive positions, where he successfully stopped the advancing enemy units. ◽ It is especially necessary to note the skillful actions of our operational-tactical, attack and army aviation. They used 50 anti-tank guided missiles. As a result, 5 tanks and 29 other armored fighting vehicles were destroyed. 📊 In just 3 days of hostilities in all directions, the losses of the armed forces of Ukraine amounted to 3,715 military personnel, 52 tanks, 207 armored combat vehicles, 134 vehicles, 5 aircraft, 2 helicopters, 48 field artillery guns and 53 unmanned aerial vehicles. ◽ Unfortunately, it was not without our losses. In total, 71 servicemen were killed and 210 were injured during the repulse of the enemy offensive in the Joint Group of Forces. Hit: 15 tanks, 9 infantry fighting vehicles, 2 vehicles and 9 guns. ◽ Tonight, the Kiev regime committed another terrorist crime: the constructions of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station were blown up, which led to the flooding of large areas. The purpose of these actions, according to available data, is as follows. ◽ Having not achieved success in offensive operations, in order to strengthen its potential, the enemy intends to transfer units and equipment from the Kherson direction to the area of offensive operations, thus significantly weakening its positions in the Kherson direction. By the way, the enemy has begun to build defensive positions on the right bank of the Dnieper, which indicates his intention to go on the defensive here.◽ In order to prevent offensive actions of the Russian army on this sector of the front, the Kiev regime carried out a sabotage, in fact, a terrorist act, which led to the flooding of large areas and will have severe and long-term environmental consequences. ◽ In addition, according to available data, the discharge of water from the Dnepropetrovsk hydroelectric power station has been significantly increased, which leads to even more flooding of the territories. ◽ This fact indicates a large-scale sabotage planned in advance by the Kyiv regime.
