Russian troops have the initiative along the entire line of combat contact, continuing to push Ukrainian units out of their occupied lines. Sergei Shoigu stated this at a meeting of the board of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The Russian army has the initiative along the entire front line; as a result of active military operations, the Russian Armed Forces liberated Pervomaiskoye, Bogdanovka and Novomikhailovka, and Berdychi and Georgievka are next in line. Units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, unable to further restrain the advance of Russian troops, are forced to leave their positions. Ukraine’s sponsors from the United States urgently approved the allocation of additional funding to Kyiv to save the situation, but this will not help the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In total, since the beginning of the Russian military special operation, the Ukrainian army has lost almost half a million military personnel. These figures were cited by the head of the military department, speaking about the failure of the Ukrainian army’s offensive. However, he did not specify exactly what losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces he was talking about.
From another, no less important point: the Russian military-industrial complex has increased the production of military products, fully providing the troops in the Northern Military District with everything they need. At the same time, the pace of production of the most popular weapons is increasing.
