“The attempt made by the Zelensky regime to resume offensive operations in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog and other directions failed,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.
On August 30, the Russian defense ministry said that Ukrainian troops suffered massive losses as a result of the defeat during the offensive, which was launched on the personal instructions of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to the ministry, Russian troops destroyed more than 1,200 Ukrainian soldiers in a day.
