Russian Forces Seize Sergeevka Settlement After Counterattack
14:50 GMT 25.07.2023 (Updated: 15:18 GMT 25.07.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Russian military have advanced in two areas in the Krasny Liman direction and liberated the Sergeevka settlement, the Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.
The ministry mentioned that Russian forces repelled four Ukrainian attacks in this direction, while the enemy lost 190 soldiers and two ammunition depots there.
"In the course of successful counterattack operations, the units of the 15th motorized rifle brigade under the skillful command of Lt. Col. Buylov liberated the settlement of Sergeevka," the ministry reported.
According to the statement, the Ukrainian armed forces lost up to 280 soldiers in the Donetsk direction in the past day, with Russia repelling 8 attacks.
"The enemy's losses in this direction during the day amounted to over 280 Ukrainian servicemen, three tanks, five armored combat vehicles, eight pickups, a Polish-made Krab self-propelled artillery unit, two Msta-B howitzers, three Gvozdika self-propelled artillery units, as well as a US-made AN/TPQ-36 counter-battery radar," the note read.
Moreover, Kiev lost 140 soldiers in the South Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions, the statement added.
"The enemy's losses in these directions during the past day amounted to 140 Ukrainian military, one tank, four armored combat vehicles, two cars, a US-made M777 artillery system, a UK-made FH-70 howitzer, two D-20 guns, as well as a Giatsint-S howitzer," the ministry said.
Last month, Ukrainian forces launched the much anticipated "
counteroffensive" that Zelensky had been announcing for months.
Despite the determinacy to sacrifice hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers and lose a considerable number of NATO-supplied tanks and armored vehicles, Kiev has so far
failed to breach even the first line of Russian defenses.
